Ben has been painting all his life and is largely self-taught, but he learned a great deal as he grew up from his artist mother.
After his school days in Wimbledon he graduated in Psychology and pursued a career as a behavioural therapist working with young children with autism. He believes this taught him to value simplicity and to communicate in a very direct and accessible language. He translates this approach into his paintings and his paintings have been described as "displaying a certain innocence which sets them apart from the work of his contemporaries".
In 2003 Ben turned what had been a lifelong hobby into a very successful career. He sells across the United Kingdom and internationally and is now a well-renowned artist, widely recognised for his escapist landscapes and fluid dancing figures.
2025 marks 25 years since Ben sold his first painting. We have been working with Ben for the last eleven of those years.
