Bennett has had several exhibits through the years and taught classes in watercolor and other art techniques for Western Wyoming Community college and the Community Fine Arts Center. “My inspiration comes from nature, travel, and my imagination. I respond to shapes, patterns, and color,” said Bennett in her artist’s statement.

Bennett’s painting styles are both traditional and abstract, taking inspiration from the subject matter to determine her choice of interpretation. Design and color are key to create an interesting visual statement.

“I enjoy people and culture from different parts of our world.  I find painting to be visual communication that transcends language barriers. Choice of color, brush strokes, and shapes depict energy, feelings, and emotions. Through painting, I hope to share feelings and experiences with the viewers of my work.”

Bennett finds subjects to paint in all the many places she has visited — Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, China, Tibet, Greece, Russia, Spain, Western Europe, British Isles, Ireland, and most of the U.S.A.
