Carmel Benson

Carmel Benson was born in Wexford in 1950. Combining figurative and abstract elements, her work is drawn from themes of childhood and nature. Through a strong use of colour, light and the simplification of perspective, it seeks to explore the integration or isolation of the individual in space/time.  Elements from the established domain of Art are sometimes integrated with the personal, bringing an aspect of the collective to this individual vision. Her work is included in many public and private collections including: the Irish Contemporary Art Society, Bank of Ireland, AIB and the Arts Councils of Ireland.  She now lives in Co. Wicklow where she works as a full time artist.
