About​ Me

Hello, I’m Ben, I’m an artist and storyteller. I have been drawing almost non-stop since i could first pick up a pencil. I have an indescribable passion for creating characters, whether that be from scratch or bringing out the character in the drawing of person pet or even inanimate objects, i just love bringing things to life.

I was lucky enought to be home educated here in Ceredigion and spent most of my childhood on my hands and knees on the floor drawing animals and crazy creatures.

My illustrations have been featured in a number of publications by Lifeforms Art.

I was delighted to be asked by Sea Trust Wales to create a character to promote their Ocean Guardians project.

If I’m not drawing you’ll find me walking the coast path in Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire photographing dolphins and porpoises, or sitting in the garden with my chickens.

I am passionate about nature and the environment and am constantly trying to update my knowledge. I have hands on experience of conservation projects working with invertebrates. I have created character puppets to be used to promote the conservation project for the ladybird spider. My art is produced with nature and the planet in mind. Your orders will always be sent to you in plastic free packaging.

I can’t wait to create some art for you
