Loretta Bennett

American, 1960

Bennett, along with Louisiana Bendolph, is among the younger generation of quilt makers whose work was included in the national touring exhibition Gee’s Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt. Bennett’s bold, colorful designs help move the Gee’s Bend legacy into the future. She was recently included in a two-person show alongside the works of Helen Frankenthaler; a true testament to the strength and brilliance of her compositions. The artist is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle, Washington.
