A. L. Benton
I’ve always been a creative person, dabbling in crochet, embroidery and other needle arts. As a
child, I tried my hand at oil painting by numbers and loved it, but put the brush down at the age of
12 and didn’t pick it up again until 2007. In oil painting, I have found my passion. At this point, I
am painting all manner of subjects to learn more and more about this art form. With each new
project, I gain knowledge and increase my skill level. I’m enjoying the journey of finding my voice
through oil painting. It’s a life long path for me.
