My commitment to the visual arts started in the mid-1960's, during the Vietnam War, and continued into college. During this same period, I moved to the predominately African American community of Leimert Park was at "ground zero" of the largest cultural uprising since the civil war. My desire was to continue making art.

Born in New Mexico, Ben earned MFA at UCLA Film School.
