Steven Alan Bennett and Dr. Elaine Melotti Schmidt
Steven Alan Bennett and Dr. Elaine Melotti Schmidt are supporting The Warhol's Femme Touch exhibition. They established The Bennett Collection of Women Realists in 2009. The two collectors limit their collection to figurative realist paintings of women by women artists. The Collection includes work by some of the most exciting women painters currently working: Margaret Bowland, Aleah Chapin, Andrea Kowch, Alyssa Monks, Katie O’Hagan and dozens of others on the cutting edge of figurative realism.
Steven and Elaine have chosen to limit The Bennett Collection to the work of women figurative realists to celebrate the fabulous work that these women are making as well as to counteract gender discrimination against these fine art painters. It is Steven and Elaine’s hope that their Collection will encourage and enable women painters to pursue figurative realism and likewise encourage others to collect figurative realist work.
