Ben Speedy
Biography / Artist statement
Ben has enjoyed many forms of observational drawing and painting since childhood, but has gradually specialised in studying the figure from life (and sometimes from photography). Ben has kept up life drawing as a practice and discipline over more than 20 years, but has also made forays into landscape, nature studies and portraiture. When young children made time more scarce he increasingly studied to improve his skill in photography, which he uses and enjoys as part of his practice.
