Painting on Both Sides of the Brain
Marge says of her work, "My art reflects my life in its search for
happiness in serenity and beauty. I would like to convey an idea or a
point of view rather than a precise representation. At times I enjoy a bit
of whimsy or simple sensual joy in nature, but always with attention to a
balance of shape and color. I believe that art is a matter of the heart
and the head. My heart wants color and light; my head requires balance and
design." Her paintings are sometimes geometric and patterned, sometimes
free flowing and diffused. Always, there is attention to design, form and
color.
Her work has received frequent awards and is found in private
and corporate
 collections throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
Write-ups about her painting have appeared in various publications.
The review that pleased her most, and with which she still resonates,
was written by Joan Altabe, Art Critic for the Sarasota Herald
Tribune. Ms. Altabe concluded her highly complimentary article
by saying, "That's where art comes in. It is that precise
order that speaks to the sense of oneness when blissfully serene.
Bennett's orchestration of order and ardor, feeling and formalism
dots the "i" and crosses the "t" in the
word that describes her: artist."
Marge received her initial training at the Art Institute of South Florida.
Thereafter, she continued her progress by studying with some of the
outstanding watercolor artists throughout the United States. She taught
art classes herself for several years, but stopped teaching because she
felt it was taking too much of her time away from her great love: creating
new paintings,
Art is Marge's passion and her delight. Although watercolor
and acrylics are her present favored media, she is never afraid
to venture into new realms and is constantly seeking other means
of expressing her ideas. Recently she has become fascinated
by the use of a computer to create her paintings and has begun
using that technological marvel as her medium when appropriate.
Whatever her technique, however, her art retains her enduring
love of color, design and balance.
