Scarlet Bennett is an Australian jewelry and metal artist whose work explores the textures and organic forms of the land. Her work features nature themes as they intersect with psychological, religious and spiritual traditions, exploring the meaning humans continue to derive from interactions with the natural world.
An advocate of handmade, local and sustainable craftsmanship, Scarlet uses 100% recycled Australian silver and other refined metals in her work. She taught coppersmithing at the internationally renowned Tharwa Valley Forge in 2018-19.
Scarlet holds undergraduate majors in history, comparative religion and psychology, and a Masters in psychology from the Australian National University. She is currently expanding her practice through a Masters of Fine Arts (Jewelry and Metal Arts) at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
In her spare time, Scarlet loves running outside in nature, especially when it’s raining.
