Heidi Benn | Fish Hoek - Cape Town | Mixed Media Artist

Heidi Benn is a Cape Town-based mixed media artist with a background in Fashion Design and Fine Art.

Her process-led practice brings together paper, natural yarn, hand stitching and ink. Rather than beginning with a fixed outcome, Heidi allows the materials to guide the work, responding to texture, tension, line and form as each piece develops.

Her current body of work explores Touch and the histories carried through hands - what is learned, remembered, made and held.

Working between fine art and textile traditions, Heidi creates quiet, tactile pieces that invite close looking and reward attention to detail.

Heidi has exhibited in various group exhibitions across Cape Town since 2008. Her work has also been available at Willow & Co in the Chelsea Village Courtyard, Wynberg, since August 2025.
