Collection: Maureen Bennett
"Maureen Bennett is a self taught artist who utilizes the concepts of design learned from a history with stained glass. In her love of painting she reinterprets classic iconic Canadian landscapes in a contemporary, bold and graphic manner where she often depicts a “red canoe or kayak.” She also developed her signature style of vibrant colourful parallel lines juxtaposed by simple forms and solid shapes outlined in white.
Inspired by the Group of Seven her painting come from the memory and the emotional experience of time spent in Algonquin and the Western provinces as well as. Intuition guides her colour choices and composition and her paintings evoke feelings of peace, solitude and quiet.
