Sue Bennett
'Pink Palm Tree'
Artist Talk. Wednesday 19th August,
2.30pm, Free

The One Work Gallery is currently showing a painting by Sue Bennett, curator of the One Work Gallery. Sue will talk about her painting 'Pink Palm Tree', and her process and way of working. The painting is currently on display at The Nose for anyone who would like to come and admire it before or during the talk.

Sue's paintings are a representation of the experience of seeing. 'I start by drawing and drawing until I find some shape or line that inspires me, then on to paint on canvas. What happens next is mysterious to me, the painting itself suggests the way forward.
