My name is C.Bennett and I am a visual artist highlighting positivity and kindness. Every day I am thankful for the ability to be part of a family and a community. I know that I can make my community stronger by sharing my positivity and smile. If I can inspire someone else to smile, be kind, or to take a moment to help someone in need, I have succeeded. 

With the use of vibrant colors and rich textures, my art illustrates a message of hope! From afar you see beauty and harmony but as you get closer to the art you see the small details and individual acts that create a connected living community. I use my art to voice the rich culture of a community. Highlighting the past present and future I strive to create uplifting art and inspiration yet embody a diverse community working harmoniously together. 

It has been my dream to motivate and uplift my community through the Art experience. I find the creative process to be a therapy that creates opportunities to connect deeply with others instantly. unforgettable experiences making positive changes to our community is what I live for!

I believe art is a universal language that everyone can enjoy. There is no right or wrong way to create art. Only the experience of being present and open to new ideas. Come along with me on an adventure of positivity through Art.
