Artist Information Margaretann Bennett graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in 1991. This was followed by a period of experimentation at The Glasgow Print Studio working with etching and lithography techniques, which encouraged her to explore and develop textural surfaces in her work. Her current work reflects her love of texture with a mixed media and collage technique developed over several years. Papers are hand painted for each artwork and specially manipulated, often sanding through layers of paint to create a weathered, sensuous surface.
Further detail is achieved by the use of mono printing.
Unusual handmade papers such as Kozo and fibrous Ginwashi are sometimes incorporated also. Margaretann exhibits and sells her work throughout Scotland as a full time career and private commissions are undertaken by arrangement.
