Bennett

In November of 2021 I left my day job and became a full-time artist. I teach classes at Pullen Arts Center and Cary Senior center. I teach one day watercolor workshops at Cocoon Gallery in Apex NC.

In rural eastern North Carolina, my mother would gather us to the car and off we would go exploring some abandoned house, tramping through the woods or hunting for fossils along the Neuse River shoreline. My art is an extension of that need to examine and investigate the world we inhabit. My recent paintings explore the shapes, light and places that tell me I am home. A playful and contemporary application of watercolor is paired with an emotional attachment to my roots in Pamlico County.
