Hi my name Is Benjamin Nieves for those who I have not met yet. I am a Professional artist currently living in Providence, Rhode Island.

             I was born in Bronx, New York although did not live there very long, and ended up moving to Rhode Island at the age of three. I graduated from Mount Pleasant high School in 2001, which I then went to URI in Kingston, Rhode Island to study pharmacy. I am currently taking a leave of absence from school due to the stress of life and financial issues.

             I am currently 26 and pursuing my love of art. I am currently employed by EB Games in Coventry  to pay for all of life’s rather unpleasant things like bills.  

             I have been working on art as far back as I can remember. I used to work mainly in pen and ink, or pencil but have moved on to other media as well. I have worked with but not limited to colored pencils, pen & ink, charcoal, pastels, water color, clay, oil paints, oil pastels, wood (ex. Props for costumes), latex ( for latex mask costume related), computer programs, air brush, acrylics, and acrylic mediums. I love to experiment with different media and try to make my art different that what is out there already.  I have been working a lot with acrylics and different acrylics mediums recently and have had a great time creating new and different techniques with them.

             My one goal that I have set for myself and for my art is to become well known throughout Rhode Island.
