We are delighted to welcome wildlife artist
Stephen Bennett to Morpeth Gallery
Stephen was born and raised in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales and spent most of his growing years outside exploring. This has developed into a deep love of the outdoors, nature and the local fauna. This has been a grounding for a love of creativity and the passion for him to capture the beauty and movement of our wildlife in his paintings.
He is a self-taught artist that is always striving to improve and learn from others in order to master his craft.
