Project Ben

Art to me is about selflessness. I want to grow as an artist and use my talent to give back to those who are often marginalized and dismissed by society.

“We are our choices and that’s all we are.”

“BEN” – This project is about extending a hand, looking beyond myself, and showing a man grace and generosity.

The Point

Ben is more than a painting. Ben is an encounter, Ben is a soul, Ben is an opportunity. You will be acquiring much more than a piece of art if you decide to purchase this painting. You will be making an impact that will live forever in the heart of a stranger. Watch the video below for better context about this project.

Plan Of Action

The goal is to have “Ben” sold by my 23^rd birthday (January 5th, 2022) to the highest bidder and also have all the other proceeds collected. When the money for the painting is in hand I plan to fly out and find him; surprising him with a late magical Christmas present. I am certain on where to find him and if I cannot the money will be donated to the “The Lords Place”, a homeless shelter in West Palm Beach under his name. Ben will receive 50% of all proceeds produced from the painting. The 50% I will be keeping is strictly so I am able to replicate this same exact format of philanthropy for another cause. In addition to buying the original painting you are given two alternate options to make an impact. In summary the three option are:

One: Place bid on the original 60X72 inch oil painting of Ben. Bid starts at $2,500.

Two: You are able to purchase a 11X14 inch textured, high-quality, fine art print as a symbol of your impact for $100 (shipping included).

Three: Donate any amount in the donation box below.
