Wynne Benti started Spotted Dog Press in 1995, writing and publishing her first book Favorite Dog Hikes In and Around Los Angeles, while working at NBC network and teaching graphic design at UCLA. She coauthored Climbing Mt. Whitney (with Peter Croft), Favorite Dog Hikes In and Around Las Vegas (with Megan Lawlor) and edited Close Ups of the High Sierra (Norman Clyde); Death Valley to Yosemite: Frontier Mining Camps and Ghost Towns (Mary DeDecker and L. Burr Belden), and Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal Japanese Americans by Ansel Adams. Benti graduated with honors from the University of California, Davis and Art Center College of Design. At Davis, she studied printmaking, painting and photography with Roland Peterson, Wayne Thiebaud, Roy DeForest and Harvey Himelfarb. After leaving UC Davis, she began her career at KCRA in Sacramento designing news graphics. She was hired by Keith Bright at Bright Design in Los Angeles to work on branding, signage and collateral design for Holland America and pictograms for the Los Angeles Olympics (both projects are in the permanent design collection of the Library of Congress). At Bright, she had the good fortune of working with exhibit designer Larry Klein on the design of all ship signage for Holland America's newest ocean liners. Benti joined NBC network as a designer, working on print ad design of NBC shows from Miami Vice to Law & Order. In 1995 she joined FOX Broadcasting as Senior Art Director of Print Advertising and Special Projects overseeing successful campaigns for X-Files, The Simpsons, Beverly HIlls 90210, Party of Five and Melrose Place. In addition to being CEO/publisher at Spotted Dog Press, Benti also owns Coons Gallery in Bishop, the oldest gallery in the Sierra Nevada, founded in 1945 by the artist Robert Clunie, named after her husband Richard Coons, a California landscape artist.
