Weaving knowledge, creativity, and sustainability for a connected future.

TRACEY M. BENSON
PhD | MSci | MA | Shinpiden (Usai Reiki Ryoho)

Based on Joondoburri Country in regional Queensland, Australia and working internationally, my work threads together art, science, technology with a focus on ecology, climate and ‘wet’ communities through creative education programs.

My experience as an artist, educator and digital transitions spans community, tertiary and government contexts.

I am passionate about more-than-human design and bridging the links between western ways of thinking with experiential and interconnected knowledge.

Some of the ways I work:

🌏 Regenerative thinking – focusing on sustainable futures and place-based connections
🎨 Creative leadership – fostering collaboration through community, art, storytelling, and technology
💡 Impact-driven engagement – supporting local regional communities and global knowledge exchange.
