Friday 20 November 2009 - Jane Bennett Sydney artist Jane Bennett, speaks about her work capturing threatened urban landscapes. The Rocks Discovery Museum is currently showing the projected exhibition History in the making: A working harbour no more featuring the work of Jane Bennett. This series of images contrasts the modern, picture-perfect destinations of The Rocks and Millers Point against the machinery of gritty, inner city industrial areas. Award-winning artist Jane Bennett is best known for her paintings of Sydney's urban landscapes. She has held 26 solo exhibitions since 1986, and has been included in many selective group exhibitions. Bennett has won more than 120 art prizes, including the Pring Prize for Watercolour in 1990, 1995 and 1996, and the Trustees' Prize for Watercolour, Wynne Prize in 1995. In 1996, Bennett received the prestigious Marten Bequest Travelling Art Scholarship and Dyason Bequest, enabling her to travel, paint and exhibit extensively throughout Europe and the US for two years. In 1997 the Trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW awarded her a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, and she received another residency at the American Academy in Rome. Renowned for her portrayal of Sydney Harbour, it was appropriate that in 2004 Bennett received the inaugural Sydney Harbour Week Award for artistic achievement. A major retrospective of Bennett's work was the signature event of the 2006 Industrial Heritage Festival of the National Trust of Australia. Bennett's work is represented in Artbank, many regional gallery and council collections, the Department of Defence, University of NSW, University of Sydney and corporate and private collections throughout Australia, the US, Europe and Asia.

Morris' landscapes are timeless and the location irrelevant, Jane Bennett's on the other hand are specific to place and time. With an energetic and decisive touch, Bennett deftly describes the Sydney of Pyrmont and the Spit Bridge. Following a tradition of en plein air impressionism, she makes wharf buildings and demolition sites picturesque.
