Announcement    Welcome to my shop! I am so happy to share my art with you. It has been quite a journey exploring my creativity. I believe everyone has the capacity to be creative! It may not always be in the traditional mediums...

After viewing my work I hope you feel inspired -- perhaps by the bright colors or the subject, (or both!) to explore YOUR own creativity. Just go for it!

In addition to the available art in my shop, I can also create custom artwork for your space. If you have an idea, let's talk about how to translate it into my style. Visit my online gallery to send me your ideas: wwwbrendabennettart.com

On Etsy since 2017
  • This is my home studio. In 2014, I began painting on a card table in the basement. I have since taken whole family room!
  • These are the inks I use, either directly on the canvas or over patterned paper.
  • As a paper artist, I have a lot of different cutting implements!
  • Here is my large table where my inking and sealing takes place. You can see "Rolling in the Deep" is in progress.
  • These three images were part of an Artist Series, printed for Vail Resorts on Totally Tubular Neckwear by Turtle Fur.

Brenda Bennett Art - Painting with Paper

Colorado native Brenda Bennett is a self-taught artist. She has always considered herself to be a creative person, possessing a passion and drive to make things with her hands. That passion was solidified in 2014, as recovery from surgery forced her to take a brief step away from her roles as a wife and mother - and led to her rediscovering joy within art and the creative process. In actively, consciously pursuing this interest, Bennett says she feels as though she has reunited with a long-lost self. She began sketching and exploring the cohesion of handmade papers, sprayed ink and stencils, with inspiration often coming from a hike she took or photo she made. Bennett's talent in mixed media collage let others to notice and she was approached to teach at Colorado Free University.

Bennett is drawn to bright, vivid colors as she creates her pieces, her favorites being those that call to mind the outdoors, such as aspen trees, birds and horses. The experience of her work is as layered as the paintings themselves: From a distance, the viewer sees the overall image she intends - and, up close, uncovers delightful surprises within the patterns, images and typography contained on individual scraps of paper. Bennett hopes for this contrast to result in curiosity and amusement, as well as to challenge assumptions about what can be seen and revealed. This contradiction is true in art, she believes, and people.

Bennett works from a home studio, with her family nearby. She comes to her work with no formal training and believes that every person has the capacity to be creative.

"I want my art to inspire other people to tap into their creativity as well, and to explore things that interest them," Bennett said. "I want people to walk away from my work being inspired - to create themselves."
