Artist Bernice Daher

Bernice Daher is a classically trained artist who began her formal education at the esteemed Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney, renowned for its strong focus on traditional drawing and painting techniques. This foundation instilled in her a deep respect for the fundamentals of art, which continues to underpin her creative practice to this day.

Over the following two decades, Bernice honed her craft through independent work and collaborative experiences with a range of artists, each of whom brought fresh perspectives and influences to her evolving style. While her artistic roots are grounded in traditional approaches, her work has grown to encompass more expressive and exploratory elements, reflecting her ongoing curiosity and passion for artistic discovery.

Nature is a recurring theme throughout Bernice’s body of work. Whether capturing the raw energy of a windswept seascape, the delicate intricacy of native flora and wildlife, or the quiet strength and vulnerability found in portraits and figurative studies, she brings a sensitivity and emotional depth to every piece. Her work often evokes a sense of wonder, inviting viewers to connect with the natural world and the human experience on a deeper level.

Bernice is a versatile artist, working confidently across a range of media including oils, watercolours, pastels, and drawing tools. However, it is the art of drawing that remains at the heart of her practice. She considers it the backbone of her work - a vital step in her creative process that allows her to explore form, gesture, and emotion with immediacy and clarity.

Her commitment to craftsmanship, combined with a willingness to explore expressive interpretations, makes Bernice Daher’s work both grounded and dynamic - a thoughtful blend of tradition and individual voice.
