Jan Bennett: Dance and Movement. (Ring to view)
24th May to 24th June 2011
p/view 24th May 2011 7-9pm
”The theme of this my first solo exhibition is ‘Dance and Movement’. I have endeavoured to capture glimpses of the fluidity of form and the expressive movement of the dancers. I have used soft pastels/pastel pencils throughout. This is very much my preferred medium, as I love the fact that it enables me to work almost entirely with my fingertips.” – Jan Bennett
”After leaving St. Martin’s School of Art in the 80’s I enjoyed 10 years in the world of fashion design. I then tidied my creativity away on a shelf whilst I raised my two daughters, until five years ago I found that I once again had some free time. I treated myself to a box of pastels and they opened up a whole new sphere of creativity for me. Now I have joined a lovely group of local artists called Brushstrokes, and after exhibiting with them twice I have been encouraged to spread my wings and fly solo for this exhibition.” Jan Bennett
