About the Artist

I recently married a sixth generation Texan and relocated here from the East Coast.  I am continually moved by the beauty and variation of the landscape. Simply put, I want to bring the landscape inside. Through my paintings I try to express what I see and feel as I watch and marvel at the natural majesty around me.

Sylvia Benitez is a nationally known environmental installation artist whose recent work has begun to explore landscape painting. She is the recipient of many awards including two Pollock- Krasner awards, an AICA Award ( Association of International Critics of Art) and Two National  Endowment for the Arts Awards. Benitez has shown in numerous museums, sculpture parks and galleries including, The C. Grimaldis Gallery, Baltimore Md, Galeria Raices, Puerto Rico, Alva Gallery  CT, Gallery Nord, San Antonio, The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Neuberger Museum, SUNY Purchase, Wave Hill, NY NY and the Whitney Museum of Art.
