amy bennett is a brooklyn based painter who works from miniature three dimensional models.  she describes her work as “glimpses of a scene or fragments of a narrative.”  the top and bottom image are monotypes, and the center is from her series “neighbors” for which she built a model neighborhood, and created personalities and relationships for it’s inhabitants.  at first glance, most of her work is picturesque, but if you look closely, you might see tiny figures in various compromising positions.  i think her work is really amazing, and she does a great job of capturing the essence of the american summer, with her own peculiar brand of story telling.
