Videos by JULIE BENNETT. Portrait painter. Gestural painting. Commissions welcome
I am very proud of this special project created especially for Bankside Hotel and DegreeArt.com 🎨✨ Bankside is where I had my artist residency, the theme was art icons. The hotel has invited 24 artists to design their Christmas baubles, I knew I wanted to feature a Christmas icon that holds a special place in all our hearts. Introducing my self-portrait bauble as Mother Mary! 🌹👩🎨 This powerful symbol represents the essence of Christmas, and without her, the magic of Christmas wouldn't be the same. It's not just a self-portrait; it's a homage to mothers everywhere, recognising their incredible role in making Christmas a truly magical time. 🎄💖 The hotel reveals a bauble each day of Advent and a chosen hotel guest hangs the bauble on the foyer Christmas tree.
