"Memorable art is a refuge, a place to smooth the waters. Through my work I wish the viewer a life full of quiet moments, fullof answers, full of peace, and full of beautiful engaging art."                      -  Richard Benoit  
                                          
Artist Bio:
Richard has been exhibiting his artwork  for well over 20 years. His work has been described as wonderfully intense and original and is included in the permanent collections of the Illinois Institute of Art and Governor's State University.

Benoit treats the canvas not as a place to describe something but more as a place for something to happen, often arranging random visual elements in such a way as to excite the viewer's curiosity and intuitive sense of aesthetics.

Select Collections:
Bourbonnais Public Library
Bradley Public Library
Aventis Pharmaceutical
Riverside Medical Center and many private and business collections.
