Ethne Benn

Ethne started out as a representational artist working in oils and was featured in galleries in her native Johannesburg, South Africa. After immigrating to Australia in 2008, Ethne began her meaningful journey into abstraction. T

his move influenced her more realistic work and after striving to paint more freely and spontaneously, and with the influence of mark-making in Ethne's work, it has allowed her to introduce more intuitive accents into her figurative and floral works. It has also taken Ethne on an evocative and emotional journey into expressive landscapes.

Ethne was a finalist in the KAAF Art Prize 2016 and in the ART IN THE HILLS Art Prize 2018.
