“My name isn’t Ben.

Italy was the first place overseas I ever went. I went back and forth for years, so when I set up my first love business of cooking… jam…. “well preserved” was the perfect name.

I loved it so much, I kept it.

I graduated from art school with an Associate Diploma in Fine Arts, specialising in photography and printmaking. The only thing I really liked about drawing and painting classes was the colour pop quiz my painting teacher liked to play with me (“what colours make up that colour?”) and the three minute poses in life drawing classes. So it is funny I ended up loving drawing and painting more than anything again. I think I just lost confidence in my ability to express myself in that way.

I have always been encouraged to draw, paint and create. I think perseverance pays off.

Be uncompromising in your style.”   - Emma Kidd : benconservato
