Santa Cruz Lighthouse by Richard M. BennettSanta Cruz is home to hundreds of talented artists. I've heard it said that a person can't swing a dead cat without hitting one here. While much of the Santa Cruz art community focuses on whimsically light-minded projects that often appear to me to be an unnecessary waste of materials, the work of Richard M. Bennett is beautiful and breathtaking... like real life.
An artist of exceptional talent... a real artist, "Dicky B" is comfortable working in many different mediums, such as water colour, oil, bronze, CAD and etc., and has accumulated hundreds, (maybe thousands), of pieces, some of which are stored at his home on the east side of Santa Cruz where he lives with his wife Ann. Mighty Mo and I had the opportunity to attend the Richard M. Bennett Mother's Day open studio earlier this month, and were able to chat with the artist and his wife.
