Tennessee State University, Avon Williams Campus Library, opens a new art exhibit this month.   A Mirrored Creation of Life: in Photographs and Oil features the collaborative work of a mother-daughter team, Cassandra Bennett and Shea Moore.

The exhibit includes over 20 works of photography and oil paintings.   Nashville natives Bennett and Moore bring their love of art, design, fashion, family, music, and makeup into this fascinating creation.  They are mutually inspired by each other. Moore’s photographs have inspired Bennett to share her interpretation on canvas. The mother of this duo states that her daughter has the ability to capture on camera what is seen through the eyes of an artist.

Cassandra Bennett, the mother of five children, always encouraged her children to follow their dreams and their special gifts and talents.  Mrs. Bennett started oil painting again in 2006 after placing it aside for many years.  Bennett is a member of ”The Society of Artist” at Artists on Main in Goodlettsville, TN under the direction of David Gillihan, Art Instructor.  Her work has been displayed at several galleries locally and nationally.

Shea Moore trained as a fashion designer at Bauder College in Atlanta. She decided to leave to the corporate world two years ago to pursue her passion as a freelance makeup artist and photographer. Born and raised in the Music City Capitol of Nashville, she was exposed to various aspects of art, design, fashion, and music. She enjoys sharing experiences with others through her photos and allowing the viewer to create their own stories, emotions, connections with each photo.
