American landscape architect and environmentalist Bill Bensley considers himself a complete novice in the art world since he has never trained as a painter. He picked up a paintbrush under the instruction of his dear friend and Caribbean-based painter Kate Spencer to manifest his unique perspective on life and surroundings. He also emulated other artists' styles and delved into the world of fauvism art, bursting with bold colours and a sense of humour. After several painting holidays with Spencer, Bensley eventually discovered his own path, which is full of gorgeous details and vivid colours with enchanting figures.
