Margaretann BENNETT

She creates a surface of rich colour and sumptuous texture, often incorporating layers of delicate paper which she pre-colours and marks. Bennett's approach is intuitive rather than analytical: there is deliberate tension between areas of abstraction and finer detail. Most of her contemporary paintings are a distillation of collected experiences into a visual unity and an evocation, rather than depiction of place.

Margaretann Bennett says: "I seek to convey a sense of time passing and lives lived, drawing on elements where man has left his mark, for example lines and shapes created by old stone walls, steadings and sheepfolds."

'Sea Swell' shows the power and energy of the sea around the Scottish coast. Vivid blue contrasts with the browns and greys of the rocky shore to create a dramatic scene.
