Artist Statement
Thank you for visiting my website.
My wife and I live in Santa Paula, a small town in Southern California between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, near Ojai and Ventura. I grew up here, surrounded by beautiful mountains and farmland, within a short distance of the Coast. Although I often paint from photographs and from my imagination, I'm most inspired when painting on location—especially out in nature. I also have fun doing satirical work in various mediums.
A few of my paintings are available as high quality giclee prints, which you can purchase framed or unframed. Please join my email list (below) so you will be notified when I add new artwork here or when I'll be exhibiting work in public. I look forward to your comments and questions.
Thank you,
Aaron Benner
