Ben Kelley

A St. Louis native, Ben's work has been featured locally, throughout various offices and art fairs, as well as internationally, most notably for his cover art published on a re-print of famed Dutch writer Nescio's Titaneller.

"I'm a fan of both experimentation and variety. Not surprisingly, my paintings often vary in theme from conceptual and meaningful, to colorful and expressive. I enjoy the discovery part of the creative process and how to communicate and connect with viewers through a visual medium. Often times, when I feel that I've accomplished a form of communication in a particular fashion, I end up challenging myself to find a new way to express an idea or emotion. It's this challenge that keeps me motivated and why I know my passion for artistic expression will always fuel my desire to create."
