Diagnosed with classical autism at age 3, he is an emerging artist and published author-illustrator of numerous children's books. Ben is passionate about all animals and has been since he was a young child. He draws, paints, sculpts, illustrates, and writes stories about animals from his unique perspective. Through his art, Ben has found a way to express himself and engage with the world around him. His work has been commissioned by McGill University, Inspirations Newspaper, English Montreal School Board, Fondation Autisme de Laurentides, 4Korners and many other community organizations. He was a featured artist at the 2019 Autism Festival RTSA-TACC and his paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in several events. His work adorns the walls of numerous establishments, businesses and private collector’s homes throughout North America. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/614dca8b6584436945165245/t/6166e4220309640d01e6ec08/1634151543805/About+the+artist+bottom+pic.jpg About the Artist - Our Mission - A Social Enterprise Ben Animalia is a social enterprise and we operate in pursuit of social and environmental goals.
