Ben Dearnley

b.1964 -

Born in Salisbury, Ben Dearnley has spent much of his life surrounded by music.

His late father was an organist at St. Pauls Cathedral and Dearnley spent his early years exposed to the majesty of music and sculpture of the highest order. This has been a major underlying influence for his work as a sculptor. He carves many of his timeless works from statuary marble which he collects himself from the Italian mountains in Carrara. He has works in many public and private collections around the world and is now based on the south west coast of Ireland in the foothills of the Connor Pass, Dingle.
