		Surrounded by a family of artists, William Bensen's interest in art developed as a young child. His grandfather was an artisan at the turn of the 20th century with clients such as Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, the Posts, the Huttons, and the Vanderbilts. Grandfather Bensen's designs graced landmarks such as Mar-A-Lago and the Biltmore Estate. Bensen's father sculpted iron into creative furniture forms. His uncle was an early cinematographer who captured images of Shirley Temple and other notables. After earning a masters degree in television production from Brooklyn College in NYC, Bensen followed his uncle into the world of television and film. As an Emmy award-winning producer, William has worked with Turner Broadcasting, the Fox Family Channel, and has produced a children's television show for NASA. While television and film created a livelihood, Bensen's passion for oil painting became the center of his creativity. Long Inspired by N.C. Wyeth, John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, and Anders Zoorn, many of Bensen's canvases capture solitude and the play of light upon nature. The artist states. "I am drawn to nature. Not just the nature that lies around us, but also the nature that lies within. Strength. Solitude. Tranquility." Visit Bensen's website for more info: www.williambensen.com
