ABOUT
Mary Stengel Bentley creates worlds that live between geometry and nature — where structure meets softness and emotion finds form. Her work draws on the language of architecture and the rhythm of the natural world, blending clean lines with organic movement and warmth. Through painting, mural, and design, she builds environments that feel alive — places meant to be felt as much as seen.
A Nashville native, Mary bridges her Southern roots with a modern visual language shaped by years living and working in San Francisco and Chicago. Her portfolio spans large-scale public murals, private commissions, and fine art paintings collected by clients including Yale University, Workday HQ, Google, and Capital One. In each project, she adapts her personal design language — from disciplined geometry to organic gesture — to the needs of each site, shaping how a space feels and functions.
