Gracie Bentley is an emerging artist based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
My practice is grounded in a deep fascination with the natural world, often expressed through small-scale works that explore light, reflection, and surface. Lately, this has led me to paint directly onto bright copper panels, leaving areas exposed so the work shifts depending on the light it encounters. I love getting to explore the wild, wonderful, and sacred presence of landscape through quiet, reflective painting.
Alongside my studio practice, I work as a teacher and artist mentor at Art School Co in Buderim, supporting emerging creatives.
