Ben earned his BFA in Drawing in the hallowed halls of Arizona State University, way back in the 1900s. He fled Arizona and has since lived in New York City, Seattle, Jersey City, the Jersey Shore, Pittsburgh, and Los Angeles — in that order.
His work focuses on the figure, with occasional dalliances into more abstract territory: a series inspired by illuminated manuscript letters, as well as fiber art and cross stitch.
He is also a certified tarot card reader.
