Kim Eckert-Bennett
Kim Eckert was born and raised in Manhattan Beach,
California. She developed a love of art at an early
age, and studied drawing, painting and design in High
School and College. At the age of 20, Kim relocated
with her family to Northern California. At 22, Kim
began working at the Bennett Sculpture Art Foundry,
where she worked in many departments of the company.
She worked her way up to an apprentice position
working directly under the world-renowned sculptors,
Bob and Tom Bennett. As an apprentice, Kim learned
the art of sculpting, and started designing a line of
her own in the late 1980's. Kim's initial work
centered on her love of the ocean, and her mermaid
sculpture gained many collectors. Kim has now
broadened her subject matter to include many types of
figures, and many of her current pieces feature a
Southwestern theme. Kim also works in different
mediums of painting, including airbrush and oils.
