OUR STORY

The late 90′s saw the closing of the Bennett Foundry in Northern California and the Bennett Sculpture galleries soon followed.  Sadly, in 2003 Bob Bennett passed away and Tom Bennett passed away in 2016.  

In 2012, Debi and Ashley decided Bennett Sculpture should return to its place in the art world and back into the hearts of Bennett Collectors from around the world.  The original Bennett Sculpture Carmel sign was located, touched up, and hung above the now re-opened doors in the same Carmel location from 38 years ago.  Response from Bennett Sculpture collectors and fans has been overwhelmingly positive and new collectors have been adding up quickly.

Bob’s daughter, Ashley Bennett-Stoddard, has been painting and sculpting for most of her young adult life.

Ashley moved her family to Carmel from Utah in 2018 to add her talent and positive energy to the gallery. Ashley adds bright color to the mix and her strong spirit shows within her paintings.  Since her father’s death, she has become even more determined to carry on the family legacy.

Tom’s daughter, Terrie Bennett, started sculpting as a young girl in the Bennett Foundry, focusing on spirituality, nature and marine life sculpture.  She has owned and operated her own galleries in Malibu, California, and Taos, New Mexico and now in Camino, CA.  Terrie has sold hundreds of her beautiful sculptures and continues to create exciting new sculpture designs. We are proud to carry Terrie’s work and have her participating in our Gallery events.
