About
Polly Bennett is an environmental artist and pigment maker exploring themes of identity and our relationship with the natural world through tactile, immersive sculptures, land art, installations, and works on paper. Rooted in sustainability, her practice embraces traditional craftsmanship, using locally sourced materials, such as clay, sand, and handmade pigments, that guide her process and shape her narrative.
Her journey into art began with a fascination for nature’s textures, colours, and forms. As a pigment collector and maker, she founded POLBEN’s Pigment in 2020, transforming raw earth materials into sustainable artist’s pigments and inks.
Polly graduated from City & Guilds of London Art School in 2018 and in 2019 completed The Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers Decorative Surfaces Fellowship. She is an Honorary Freeman of The Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers, and a member of the Wilderness Art Collective, a group of creatives whose work discusses the natural world.
