Benjamin Winans was born in 1987 in Raleigh, North Carolina. His childhood was enriched by drawing, music, and moving around the Southern U.S. with his parents and two sisters. In 1998, he moved with his family to Mauritius, in Southern Africa. He spent the next 8 years traveling internationally, holding addresses in Mauritius and Japan, and being influenced and transformed by the many people and cultures he encountered until his high school graduation in 2006.
Winans' primary goal through his art is to challenge and inspire conversation while providing aesthetic value through line and balance.
Winans currently lives with his wife in Richmond, VA, where he is finishing his B.F.A. in painting and printmaking at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Associate's of Fine Arts, John Tyler Community College
