Jill Bennett Studio
Art is a renewal whether we experience it or create it. By experiencing beauty
we learn to achieve beauty. The visual arts are food for my soul. I enjoy
creating works that tell a story whether idealistic, symbolic or every day life
situations. Drama is another important factor of my work. My goal is for the
viewer to relate to my images as he/she would to their own life. I am inspired
by many artists and especially by Rene’ Magritte and my mentor, Shane
McDonald. Both are disciplined artists that draw from their imagination to
create interesting compositions. Magritte is a master of illusion. McDonald is
a master of color. I am a colorist that likes to portray a strong sense of light in
my work. I try to push myself to exceed my own expectations when working on
a painting or drawing. I find the process drives me more so than the finished
product. I become mesmerized by the images unfolding as I work that time
seems to stand still. It is a labor of love. Creating beauty brings forth a content
heart and satisfied soul.
