Ben Poechman

is a multi-disciplinary visual artist & professional snowboarder living in Squamish, BC. Ben's work exposes his affinity for nature and passion for the outdoors. He uses bold texture and soft shades to establish a certain depth & dimension in his work.

Ben first started on his path as an apprentice at a stone carving studio in Whistler, BC back in 2017. It was there, he honed this craft and went on to create hundreds of sculptures for Fathom Stone Art Gallery at The Westin hotel in Whistler Village.

Feeling inspired after his first year stone carving, Ben picked up a brush and began to explore acrylics. After only few years and dozens of live paint performances, brand collabs & installations… Ben uses his art to facilitate positive change in his community, whether it's by organizing charity raffles, donating entire works to non-profits or hosting events and bringing people together. It seems like it's only the beginning of a long
& exciting story for this talented emerging artist.
