Bennett paints in acrylics, oils, and mixed media. “I need to feel a connection to whatever I paint, places I’ve been, people I know. I love to explore abstracts and abstraction. The figure challenges me.” Bennett has displayed in many galleries and has juried shows across the Pacific Northwest. She brings to the Juried Show a wealth of educational and working artist experience.
