Ben is a very enthusiastic artist and loves creating portraits that showcase his vast interest in sports, film, and television celebrities . Ben also documents his world travels, especially the architecture of monuments and family-related destinations. Ben starts with his memory of a person, place and time, then uses reference illustrations to help guide him in a pencil draft. Details in ink or watercolor such as figures, words, and small plaques to commemorate the event are added later. Ben enjoys ‘gifting’ his work to his family, teachers, and friends, and emphasizes this shared experience as part of his artistic process.
