Painting. Weaving. Writing. Building in Nature. Metalworking. The confluence of NOËL Bennett’s lifework stems from a shift in consciousness while living and weaving with the Diné (Navajo) in New Mexico for eight years. Bennett’s decades-long series of abstract paintings, The Infinite Moment, with multi-layered textured iridescence, manifest Mother Earth monumentally rising to mate with Father Sky, honoring the female/male balance.
With art degrees from Stanford University and independent study with Richard Diebenkorn, she became a university art instructor. Moving to New Mexico ignited her immersion with Navajo textile. She conducted over 200 symposia and authored 10 books on the subject.
