Alicia Bilyara Bennett is a descendant of the Barkindji of the Darling River basin in Far West New South Wales, Australia and Ngalakan in Arnhem land Northern Territory, Australia. 

Alicia began painting professionally in 2021 shortly after her father Crunchy Bennett (renowned indigenous artist and emu egg carver) passed and had her debut solo with Jerico Contemporary in 2022 showcasing a collection of monochrome works at the gallery, since then she has exhibited with multiple galleries across the state and intends to keep going in order to gain international recognition of her language and heritage.

Though Alicia hasn't formally studied the arts, she has been mentored and inspired by her artist mother, father and grandmother; the family’s rich artistic culture and history aligning with Alicia’s own art, speaking for itself, inheriting the ability to present works with a depth and lineage to a broad audience. Bennett is currently working from her home studio in Woolooware, Dharwal country taking on private commissions and working on exclusive collections of which she contributes a portion of proceeds to communities in need.
