JENNY BENOIT

I’m a contemporary wildlife and landscape artist whose work explores the quiet, powerful ways we are all connected—to the earth, to each other, and to something deeper we can feel but can’t always name.

Inspired by the animals and landscapes of the great Northwest, my paintings often feature owls, wolves, forests, and mountain horizons woven together in dreamlike, symbolic scenes. I’m drawn to those in-between moments: dusk light on water, wings becoming trees, mountains emerging from petals. They’re reminders that everything in nature is intertwined.

MY ARTISTIC APPROACH

I work primarily in acrylic, often building up the surface with sculpting mediums and textured materials like clay, gel, pumice, and crushed crystal, when it just feels right. These layers catch the light and cast subtle shadows, giving each piece a dimensional, almost sculptural presence.

From a distance, my paintings read as atmospheric, contemporary works. Up close, you’ll see intricate details, textures, and hidden connections that reveal themselves slowly—inviting you to linger, look again, and feel your own story within the piece.
