Grace Lilian Bentley is a multidisciplinary artist & painter living on Gubbi Gubbi country on the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
I have a fascination with the natural world that is explored through small-scale works, experimenting with light and reflection. My current practice involves painting in oils directly onto copper panels, leaving areas of the metal exposed to interact with light.
You can view my latest collection Thin Spaces here!
My background is in film-making (BFA), and I have worked as a fine art teacher and mentor at Art School Co in Buderim for the last 7 years, supporting emerging creatives.
