Hear multi-faceted artist and creative Benjamin Ewing talk about growing up in the country in Minnesota and how he was encouraged and supported by his parents to make art from an early age, his unconventional path through high school that allowed him to focus on his developing passion of painting, drawing, woodworking, and design and the disconnect it caused with his peers, how he bypassed college/art school and threw himself into the hustle in Los Angeles after a chance opportunity prompted him to make the big move from Minnesota, how he later made his way to Portland and why he thinks there are good reasons to be excited the city's growth, the design collective he created and why his distinct (and beautiful) line paintings were a result of his transition away from that business and a need to get back to more tangible creation, his dream of doing art and design work for the Olympics, and much more!
