Felicia Penza is a writer, artist, graphic designer, and multidisciplinary storyteller based in Phoenix, Arizona. Her work centers on themes of family, belonging, and connection, and often grows from the quiet, everyday moments that shape how we understand love and home. Whether through books, visual art, theatre, or live performance, her storytelling invites people of all ages to see themselves reflected with honesty and care.
With a long background in graphic design and visual storytelling, Felicia approaches her creative work with a deep respect for both words and images, believing that stories can create space for conversation, healing, and shared understanding. Her work frequently explores the idea that families are not defined by one shape, but by the people who show up for one another again and again.
Her debut children’s book, I Will Always Choose You, was inspired by her journey as a mother and her desire to create language that helps children feel secure, loved, and chosen. In addition to writing, Felicia continues to create visual art, develop theatrical work, and collaborate with community partners on creative experiences that bring families together through storytelling.
She lives in Phoenix with her two children, who remain the center of her creative world and the reason behind every story she tells. Her work is often shared in community spaces where stories are experienced together, sparking connection, conversation, and care.
