Tina Bennett
With roots in country Victoria, Tina Bennett has spent much of her life living and working around Geelong and the Surf Coast. After studying Art and Design with a focus on Fine Art at University, she returned to painting once her children had grown, finding a deep connection to the quiet, contemplative world of still life. Tina works primarily in oils, finding joy in arranging objects to tell stories, evoke nostalgia, and breathe new life into overlooked treasures. Blue-and-white china, an enduring influence passed down by her mother, features prominently in her work, alongside a growing fascination with reflections, texture, and light. Her paintings explore beauty found in the everyday, balancing careful observation with emotional warmth. Tina views her practice as an ongoing journey of curiosity, learning, and creative exploration. Since recommencing her painting practice, Tina has exhibited widely in Geelong and Melbourne and expanded interstate to Orange, Brisbane and Toowoomba in 2025/26. She held her first solo exhibition in Geelong in 2024, presenting a body of still-life works focused on reflection, texture and luminosity.
