About:
Professional artist Stephen Bennett was born in London, his
father having emigrated from Ardara, Co. Donegal, Ireland. Having completed a
course in Graphics, Design and Illustration he graduated from Barking College
of Art, London. Stephen then began his career as a commercial artist and spent
the next 18 years working for leading London advertising agencies. He worked as
a visualiser/illustrator on the accounts of companies such as British Airways,
Cadbury’s, B.P. etc. and was part of award-winning creative teams while working
for Saatchi & Saatchi and other top agencies. He left advertising in 1992
to follow his lifelong ambition of living and working as a painter in Donegal.
Stephen is now an established exhibitor in galleries
throughout Ireland and has represented Ireland at the Florence Biennale in
2006.
Stephen’s Studio Gallery is beautifully situated with
mountain and sea views which would inspire any artist. Beside his home, 2 miles
outside the heritage town of Ardara, the gallery consists of 2 rooms full of
Stephen’s original paintings and drawings of the people and landscape around
him. Paintings large and small, of people at work and at rest, musicians in
full flight, images of the wild beauty of Donegal, all adorn the walls. Stephen
works in a variety of media including acrylic, oil, pastel, watercolour,
graphite and mixed media and a large range of limited edition prints is also
available.
Stephen enjoys meeting visitors to the gallery and is happy
to talk about his work, so feel free to drop in or, if you want to be sure of
finding Stephen at home, phone for an appointment.
