Born in Surrey, England, in 1975, Ben Payne grew up drawing and painting as a hobby but was soon recognized as a prodigy when he began selling his paintings at only sixteen. Going to Southhampton Univerity to take a Degree in Psychology, Payne graduated and became an Independent Therapist for a number of years, still painting as a hobby whilst working with Autistic Children until eventually he decided to become a full time professional artist. A certain affinity with the sky is definitely visible in many of Payne's works, he often paints vast azure blues and complimentary cool-toned white clouds to help compose the image and give it a sense of perspective, using other objects within the piece to give varied focal points to add a sense of liveliness and atmosphere to the image. ~
