SLY: What kind of work do you do?
Benjamin: I make mixed media art. Using elements of screen printing and painting. I am drawn to color and the creation of forms and space.
SLY: What two animals would you mix into one new animal?
Benjamin: Maybe a fox and duck? Not sure how that would work- but I like those two animals. A fox that can fly? A duck that has the foxes color?
SLY: What do you like to teach?
Benjamin: I like to teach drawing, printmaking and color the same things I like to do in my own art.
SLY: What’s your favorite vegetable? Mine is a pickle. Are you a vegetarian?
Benjamin: My favorite vegetable is broccoli.
SLY: Do you have kids?
Benjamin: I do, I have a boy and a girl who are 6, they are twins.
