Hi! I’m Lianette Bentley, a multimedia illustrator based in San Diego. I work in a semirealistic, moody, and colorful style—blending expressive detail with vibrant palettes to bring emotion and atmosphere to each piece. I’m passionate about expressing stories through art, and I love creating visuals that connect with people on a deeper level. I’ve done a range of commissioned work, from personal digital illustrations to large canvas paintings for office spaces— however I actively expand my creative space and can work with various mediums. I’m currently exploring more opportunities in illustration and eager to learn more about 2D animation. I'm open to both remote and local projects, and always excited to collaborate and grow.
