The "Best Selling Artist of all Time" doesn't even have her name mentioned on the copyright page of the books she illustrated. Her name is Ann Vallotton and she was a Swiss artist who died several years ago at the age of 98.
That's because the book is The Good New Bible and her desire was to be anonymous. She wanted people to be drawn to reading the Bible for themselves. Because of the success of The Good News Bible, her illustrations have blessed people around the world.
You can read more about this amazing woman in my book, Live Your Highlights, in the chapter titled, "God's Employee." Her humility touches me. Just email me at sueraatjes@cox.net or visit my website for more info on purchasing the book: www.sueraatjes.weebly.com.

Do a Google search to see her delightful illustrations. My favorite is the one from Galatians about carrying one another's burdens. Enjoy.
