"I want to say what everyone is thinking... to show how completely unique and original we are, and yet as just-plain-human as the person next to us."

bethany bARTon is an artist, illustrator and author living and working in Los Angeles.

Having started out in art department for film & TV, Bethany was able to explore and play with multiple styles in dozens of mediums before developing her own. Her art and writing captures the thoughts and feelings we all share: equal parts whimsy and reality; humor & heartbreak, whiskey & robots. She calls it "the honesty revolution"; and invites you to be a fellow revolutionary.

Bethany's art has been featured in numerous films and television commercials, as well as in gallery shows and installments around California. She celebrates life with painting, laughter, and as much time with her husband (Mike Barton) as possible.

Bethany is represented by a dashing fellow named Stephen Barr at Writers House in NYC, and has signed on with Dial/Penguin to write and illustrate two children's books. The first of which is due for a summer 2012 release. Exciting, no?
