Maureen Bennett
Acrylic
MAUREEN BENNETT envisioned expanding the same concepts of design she used in stained glass and fabric design into her own through a new medium...painting CONTEMPORARY STYLIZED BOLD GRAPHIC depictions of Canadian landscapes with acrylic on canvas with her signature VIBRANT BOLD CLEAN LINES OF COLOUR.
Maureen signature “BOLD CLEAN LINES” of different colours and brilliant hues create depth and vibrancy which are offset with simplified forms and solid shapes. Maureen has lived and travelled extensively. She paints from memory and the emotional experience rather than photographs. Her landscape paintings have a feeling of peace, solitude and quiet. Maureen’s paintings express in colour what cannot be spoken with words.
“It’s all about not being afraid of colour,” and her paintings are proof.
Inspired by The Group of Seven her paintings take on a new life through exuberant use of colour laid down in parallel strips.
Maureen brings a new series titled “The Red Canoe.” Varied sized acrylic paintings depict a red canoe which is placed in varied distinctive Canadian landscapes.
Maureen is a self taught artist who started painting in 2014.
However it was not until 2017 that she applied to her first juried art show, “The Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.” In 2018, she had the honour to be nominated for an “Emerging Artist Award” at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.
