What makes my art innovative?
I am not afraid to try new ideas. Fear of failure is something I never
learned. A new idea that I've never tried before? Now that's a challenge I can get
excited about.
And I am full of new ideas. I have a vivid imagination, and creating is in my
DNA. When I get a new idea, I just have to try it. Obsessive? Maybe. But, my
life would not be as fulfilling if I could not create.
Artist Statement
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. Joseph Chilton
Pearce
I believe
that there are no rules in Art. Creativity is about imagining something, then figuring out how to create that something.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. But in the end, you are constantly learning.
My name is Liana Turnbull Bennett. I have not
always been an artist. While other artists were earning degrees in art, I was testing and analyzing the latest high tech
materials. This led to a degree in Mechanical Engineering, were my career was spent creating real life applications from
these materials. Only later in life could I afford to indulge my real passion, art.
But, without an art degree, would anyone take me
seriously? Maybe not. But at least I will get their attention. I believe that my background gives me a creative edge.
Unencumbered by traditional art training, I have the freedom to combine my art with my high tech design knowledge. I
know materials, how they behave and react, and understand their chemistry and properties. I am not afraid to try new
ideas, to step outside the boundaries of traditional art.
I believe a painting can be more than just paint
on canvas. As a Mechanical Designer, I am trained to see ideas as 3-Dimensional images. As a result, I am always
trying to find a better way to translate that image to a 2 dimensional canvas. This unconventional thinking leads
to innovative art.
What is Innovative Art?
What is Innovative Art? It's original artwork unlike
anything you've ever seen before.
Biography
I was born in San Bernadino, California to an Air Force family, and lived and traveled all over the
US and Europe. This exposed me to a variety of cultures and ideas and was an education in itself. I now reside, in my
favorite state, Colorado.
I started painting landscapes as a child, and have always wanted to be an artist. But with a mechanical and mathematical
mind, I decided to obtain a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and spent my career as a Mechanical Designer working with
the latest in high-tech materials.
Later in life, I returned to painting and also started sculpting. I am a self-taught artist, with a wild imagination and
solid design skills. I am best known for my innovative technique of using recycled plastics on canvas
paintings. and my animal skull sculptures.
