Nolan visits Stephen Bennett in his Donegal Studio Gallery
In
July 2008 John Nolan was given a tour of Stephen Bennett's Studio Gallery in Adara,
Co. Donegal. John has been a fan of Stephen's work for many years. Both artists
have the same love for colour. Stephen interprets both the Donegal landscape and
its people, through his unique use of colour and expressive brushwork. Stephen
is a creative artist, devoted to his craft. He is established as an exhibitor
in galleries throughout Ireland and his paintings are now included in private
collections worldwide.

Visitors
are welcome to drop in to see the work in the Studio Gallery, but it is wise to
phone for an appointment, if you want to be sure of finding Stephen at home. The
gallery houses Stephen's latest work as well as a selection of prints and limited
editions, definitely worth a visit for any discerning art buyer. For
