Ben studied at the Reigate School of Art & Design and the Kent Institute of Art & Design.

He moved to Faversham in 1993 from Surrey and before long he was spending most of his spare time exploring the Kent

countryside. A keen mountain biker and sailor, Ben soon knew Kent like the back of his hand, and photographing the varied

landscapes and seascapes he encountered, was a natural progression.

Graphic Design has always been a strong part of Ben's portfolio and he is often approached by local businesses for help with

corporate identities, marketing projects and corporate videos.

Ben has always enjoyed painting and has recently started to paint local scenes, using colourful acrylics on canvas.

He finds the simplicity and organic medium of painting a relaxing complement to his other disciplines, which are dependant

on computers and hi tech equipment.

His love of the outdoors and adventure has also taken him further a field, in 2001-2002 he cycled 3000 miles up the east

coast of Australia. He has also cycled around Scotland and in 2003 he joined an expedition that sailed to the Shetland Isles

where they spent the summer making a television documentary.

Ben has recently returned from sailing across the Mediterranean, in which he sailed over 1500 miles from Barcelona to

Turkey stopping on route at Sardinia, Tunisia, Malta and Greece.
