What truly sets Ben apart is his unwavering commitment to working from life. Whether it’s a windswept landscape, a rugged portrait, or the fleeting play of light and shadow, Ben captures the essence of the moment with a directness and honesty that’s nothing short of breathtaking. His approach to charcoal is mesmerizing, blending precision with a raw, almost sculptural quality that makes his work so distinctive.

You may have seen Ben and me collaborating in some of my past videos, where his talent and sharp sense of humor always bring a spark of creativity to the table. This time, we’re diving deeper—talking about his journey as an artist, the challenges he’s faced, and his unique perspective on capturing the world in shades of black and white.

We’ll also chat about the New Zealand art scene, his creative process, and what it’s been like accompanying me on plein air adventures. Ben’s ability to observe and translate what he sees into bold, dynamic works of art is bound to resonate with anyone passionate about connecting with their environment through creativity.

This is one you won’t want to miss. Tune in to The Creative Endeavour wherever you get your podcasts, and let’s get inspired by Ben’s incredible journey together.
