Ben was born in Swanage in 1979 where he still resides.
His work is drawn from a longstanding and deep appreciation of the Purbeck
coastline and his paintings convey the peaceful serenity of the area which
he has been fortunate to grow up in.
Ben prefers using oils and, with his skills gained in his BA Honours in
Illustration, paints sketches on location to observe colours and develop
a closer affinity with the subject.
