Ben Dempcy

I'm Ben Dempcy. I currently live in Granite Falls, MN with my wife, Krishana and my daughter, Nora.

I grew up an hour west of Granite, so I guess I didn't make it too far! I'm a videographer for Pioneer PBS during the day, but at night I fancy myself a painter. I started painting in a college art class and have continued off and on throughout my life. I don't know how I would classify my style, but I do know that I enjoy exploring darker themes through painting.

I have always been drawn to art that exposes the shadows of life. We're all multi-dimensional people who embody both light and darkness. I try to capture that. Mainly, though, I like to paint what I would like to look at. I hope you would like to look, too!
