Carolee Bennett is a practicing artist with an interest in the conflict between human infrastructure and the natural world – and the landscapes and lifestyles at risk. To capture love of place, loss of place, or both, she works in an expressive style that emphasizes distortion, strangeness, and storytelling. Her body of work includes acrylic on canvas, collage, and poetry. As a self-taught artist, her practice evolves through online courses and engagement with fellow artists. Bennett, who has lived in Upstate New York since 1994, was born and raised in northern Maine. She works full-time in social media and content marketing.
