- Delana Bettoli was born in Somerset County, New Jersey and studied painting at Boston University, then transferred to Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles to focus on illustration. After settling in Venice, California she illustrated award winning projects for L.A.'s twin industries: music and film.
She has designed album covers and specialized elements for Elektra Records, Atlantic Records, and Reprise Records, and also the distinctive Peter O'Toole poster for the Academy Award nominated film, The Stunt Man (1980). Her artwork was showcased as the inaugural American Film Market poster in 1981, for which she received the prestigious Belding and ADDY Awards.
Bettoli relocated to Oregon where she lives in the foothills of the Cascade Range. Her work has been selected for the Society of Illustrators Annuals, and while she continues her work in children's literature, she's returning to oil painting with a particular emphasis on Mermaids.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Tom Cove
