BARBARA BENNETT
Barbara Bennett is a well known artist / printmaker producing fine quality
etchings reflecting her love of the landscape, particularly the unique
combination of rivers, forest and spectacular coastal scenery of Australia.
Her reputation is evident in her high quality works. With intricate detail
that enhances the stark contrasts of light and dark and with subtle hand
colouring techniques vividly illuminating the print, her etchings are
almost brought to life, creating moods, emotions and an almost tangible
feeling of tranquillity and gentleness, indicative of an artist at one
with the natural environment.
Producing an etching is a long process involving many stages in the working
of a plate from which each print in an edition is pulled, the resulting
effect not being obtained by any other artistic method. Barbara
has translated numerous images into etchings that enable the viewer to
appreciate more intensely the beauty of the landscape.
