Pippita Bennett lives in Katoomba immersed in Dharug and Gundungurra land. The Blue Mountains and the places she visits inspire her practice. She captures her experience of place through stitched landscapes.

Pippita collects plants for dye pots to create colour from the landscape on her threads and fabrics. She is happiest when stitching by a fire with a cup of tea nearby. Beginning with simple lines of stitch, she lets her needle lead the way as she observes and immerses herself in the environment. Pippita notices and stitches elements in the landscape: trees, rocks, animal prints, and flowers.

Pippita studied art at the University of Sydney’s Tin Sheds as part of her Architecture degree. She is currently studying a Masters of Art Therapy. Pippita has had solo exhibitions at Platform Gallery in Katoomba, Scratch Art space in Marrickville and The Corner Store Gallery in Orange. She has exhibited in group shows at Floral Ink, Wentworth Falls and The Corner Store Gallery in Orange.
