last updated 19 January 2026
Editorial Excellence: Introducing new Bright Artist Anne Bentley, who has already begun making a wine-coloured splash with our clients. Anne is kicking off her Bright career with this perfect partner illustration to Lettie Teague’s weekend opinion for The Wall Street Journal.

Anne grew up in Alabama, drawing and playing in the kudzu. After studying painting, she worked briefly as a graphic designer in Boston. She’s now happily working as an illustrator in a variety of markets including children’s books, editorial, home decor, stationery and puzzles from her studio in the San Francisco Bay Area.

To commission Anne for licensing, get in contact with Laura Hemsley.
