ARTIST - WHITNEY BENNETT: I’m Whitney.  I grew up on a small farm in middle Georgia.  I then grew up all over the United States from Georgia to California on the road in a volkswagon van.  I studied art at home and in schools.  Music was a big part of my early years.  Painting is a passion of mine because I am a visual learner and I love to observe and see  colors and shapes.  I founded Whintey Art LLC in 2020 and I currently paint commissions, and support my community with art.
