Salt Lake City based artist, Drew Benson, has been honing his artistic skills since childhood. Artistic expression came naturally to Drew, many would say that his artistic career has been a long time coming. For nearly two decades he showcased his enthusiasm for creative expression through his work as an Event Planner. In 2020 Drew was presented with an opportunity to follow his dreams and devote his time, energy, and passion for his art. He continually challenges himself to explore new mediums and techniques, which allows him to create something new and innovative with every piece.

Drew loves working in layers and uses a range of paints, pigments, resin and other nontraditional mediums. He creates richly textured surfaces, depth, and exuberant colors to create fluid and organic movement. Drew is inspired by the sea, which is often depicted throughout his work. In 2023, Drew started his “Shoes by Drew” line. Original, hand-painted shoes, quality and durable.

Recently, Drew Benson began exploring “Memorial Art”, as a way to honor his late father. By incorporating cremated human and pet remains into his artwork, he has been able to provide a unique way to pay respect and memorialize departed loved ones.

When he is not creating, you will find Drew outdoors gardening, traveling, and scuba diving. He loves spending time with loved ones, especially his partner Austin and their Golden Doodle Simone. He is an advocate for all forms of self-expression and believes we are all artists and creators, the makers of our own dreams.
