Lee has had her works displayed in many galleries including the LDS Visitors Center on Temple Square and the Springville Arts Museum. Since her show at Overland first Trail Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ., in 1990 she has found confidence to experiment with her work. "My look is changing because Im working a lot more," she says. "The subjects, themes and paint one-pers- style are still mine, but theres an evolution. My work is stronger. My palette has always contained a wide variety of both warm and cool colors, but now theres more boldness of color and paint handling. I used to hold back a little, not afraid to puslfc but now Z my colors." "The Annunciation," exhibited in the nations capital reflects Bennions philosophy of women's;' roles.

The works on display were selected from regional exhibits and chosen by three jurors. Information was sent to 3,000 artists throughout the state and 800 entries were received. Some of the final selections drew criticism from two Utah County artists who said they represented more than 300 other Women artists who were also dissatisfied with the outcome of the project. They contended that the Washington show does not represent Utahs "social, cultural or religious heritage," the theme outlined in the brochure. Over 100 people attended a meeting in Springville viewing a slide presentation and urging the show be canceled or the objectionable pieces withdrawn. Drawing the most criticism was a sculpture "Desert Cradle" which the group said reflected an statement because it held snakes and lizards rather than an infant. Mrs. Bennion, a past recipient of a Utah Arts Council Visual Artists Fellowship, brings viewers of her art into her personal world. Quoting from the Feb. 1992 edition of Southwest Art "One senses, both from her work and from the ease with which Bennion welcomes you, that the artist has chosen her world carefully and that it suits her. If she never looks farther for her subject brick matter than her pioneer-er- a with studio her house, garden nearby, and the people with whom she is intimately familiar and passionately involved, the viewer wont feel cheated." Mrs. Bennion grew up in Merced, CA., where she learned g responsibility working in sheds. She married fellow art student, Joe Bennion, in 1976. The couple spent their honeymoon in a restored pioneer home in Spring City which was owned by one of Joes teachers. They fell in love with it and bought their first house at that time. In addition to pursuing their careers, hers painting and Joes in pottery, the Bennions have Q To vote in favor of the above bond issue, place a cross (X) in the square after the words, For the Issuance of Bonds.
