Bronwen is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of ecology and biomaterial innovation, engaging in design, sculpture, moving image, and bio-based materials. Through her practice, she aims to pave the way for more regenerative practices in urban art, demonstrating how public art projects can foster community and environmental stewardship in shared spaces for both human and non-human. 

Her works have been showcased at the Green Design Show, Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and Linden New Art Gallery. Bronwen’s work was featured in Design Fringe 2024 as part of Arts Access Victoria's "Touch Tours," which provide access for people who are blind or have low vision to experience art, fostering untapped audiences and promoting creative solutions for full and equal participation. The City of Melbourne recently engaged Bronwen to enhance the city’s artistic and cultural landscape with her proposal, “Flourish: Hemp-Fuelled Urban Oases,” which will be exhibited in 2025.

    Bronwen will be undertaking the Art for takayna - Artist Residency 2025 in the breathtaking landscapes of Tasmania's Takayna. Camping in vital conservation areas, Bronwen will draw inspiration from the stunning surroundings to create impactful works that reflect the essence of this unique environment. 

    Her artistic vision centers on illuminating the Tarkine's breathtaking beauty while emphasizing the urgent need for its preservation. Through immersive art and storytelling, she aims to capture the essence of this ancient forest, connecting viewers to its wonders.

    She will create immersive installations and visual narratives that highlight the ecological significance and cultural heritage of Takayna. By showcasing the beauty and fragility of this landscape, she aims to engage audiences emotionally, fostering a sense of responsibility for its protection. Her art will serve as a catalyst for dialogue and activism, inspiring community involvement and raising awareness. 

    Her creations will be showcased at the 2025 Long Gallery exhibition in June, serving as a powerful voice for environmental protection.
