Exhibitions

R.B. Stevenson Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition "ECHOES in NATURE" by San Diego artist Jennifer Anne Bennett. We cordially invite you to the opening reception on Saturday, September 19th, from 5 to 8 p.m This is the second solo exhibition for San Diego artist Jennifer Anne Bennett, where her work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions.

Bennett’s paintings are united by light, atmosphere, creating a space to enter, daydream, or encounter the unexpected. They are ambiguous landscapes where the viewer may bring a history, narrative, or memory to the works. There is an instinctive sense of place: ground and sky, forest and clouds, branches and boulders, all symbols rendered in poetic and quiet perception. We yearn to experience the sublime, a personal connection to nature, and to find solace in its grounding presence. Traveling to it, hiking through it, or sleeping under it, there is something primal in our hunger for communion with the natural world: towering trees in a dense forest, wildflowers in the countryside, a cliff face illuminated by the rising sun, forever seeking the infinite beauty of the wilderness surrounding us.
