I’m illustrator Anni Betts. I create bright, lively drawings for books, magazines, advertising, greeting cards, calendars and more. I love making the world a more colorful place, and specialize in drawing animals, plants, people, and lettering. I’ve been drawing all my life, and illustrating for a living since 2006. I’ve had the pleasure of illustrating the very successful Breathe Like a Bear series of mindfulness books written by Kira Willey and published by Rodale Kids.
Originally from Illinois, I now live in the charming and historic city of Durham, England, with my wonderful husband and two amazing children. When not illustrating, I can be found outside on a long walk, rockpooling and fossil hunting with my family, baking something sweet, or sewing.
