About Me

My photo
Liana Turnbull Bennett
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. I love testing new ideas. Some of these tests turn out to be my best work. Each piece I create is an original work of art, from start to finish. I love what I do and I think you will too.
