Jewett Benson’s work will be showcased in the Gallery in November

No stranger to visual arts, Jewett taught art in the Alexandria, Minnesota school system for 34 years. Presently, he works on paintings and commissions in a studio near his home in Alexandria Minnesota.

Jewett’s landscapes reflect the rural and lake setting of central Minnesota. His work in watercolor, oil and mixed media ranges from impressionistic landscape, still-life and colorful abstraction. His satirical graphic images meld traditional painting and drawing methods with computer graphics.

Working with his wife Barbara, Jewett has authored and illustrated a children’s book “A is for Aeronaut”.

This most interesting exhibit runs from November 1 to November 30 and may be seen during Gallery hours each Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There will be an Artist Reception on November 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m.
