Artist, Autistic & Awesome

Meet Lincoln, the original LINC-d artist.

Lincoln Bentley is a 22-year old artist from Idaho. He has an autism diagnosis and requires language as well as other supports. He was the first LINC-d artist and the inspiration behind the company he and his mom founded, LINC-d.

From a young age, Lincoln has always loved drawing. We have boxes and boxes of his art. He loves to draw animals more than anything else.

Lincoln is a man of very little words and emotion, but his drawings give a more complete picture to his inner thoughts. His animals are joyful, expressive and colorful. There is nothing like seeing the excitement and pride on his face when his masterpieces are put onto products. He has so much to say. It is wonderful that his art gives him the ability to say what his words cannot.

Lincoln draws all day long (preferably in his pajamas). His favorite mediums are paper, pencils, sharpies and alcohol-based markers.
