About the Artist
A Brief History
Bronwyn Hill (b.1989) is a Brisbane based painter. Predominantly focusing on portrait and figurative work, Hill is recognized by her photo-real oil paintings that follow a narrative, exploring self-analysis and introspection that are often inspired by moments in solitude.
Hill's use of light and shadow is a recurring feature to her work along with the contrast of high detail and soft layering techniques.
Recently winning the 2019 Sylvia Jones Award for Women Artists at the Brisbane Portrait Prize and the 2017 Clayton Utz Award, Bronwyn has been involved in many exhibition showcases throughout Australia, including portrait prizes such as the Shirley Hannan National Portrait Award and the Portia Geach Memorial Award. Hill completed a Diploma of Fine Arts in 2011.
