Jenny Bennett

I have been making art for forty years; painting, ceramics puppetry, printmaking are some of the media I have explored. Painting in oil has been a constant and I love the lushness of the coloured pigments. I have a keen interest and passion for the past and also nature. Both provide inspiration .

I attended a small rural primary school and then later a boarding school. I lived in Dunedin and Auckland gaining a Masters degree in Anthropology. I began art classes in 1978 and subsequently participated in assorted workshops and summer schools, exhibiting regularly nationally and internationally.

I have participated in many exhibitons here,and in Italy UK and USA.
