What is SnarkArt? Simply put, SnarkArt is an artist organization devoted to the practice of making art and education. Benjamin D. Rinehart, the proprietor, is a multi-media artist whose main focus is in drawing, painting, printmaking, and artist's books. Art presents many challenges that keeps the mind sharp and engaged. Ben is a problem solver by nature, and it is his passion to find the best possible solution to any situation. Ben began teaching at the age of nineteen, and now with over fifteen years of teaching experience under his belt, his goal is to support other artists throughout the creative process. With his training in printmaking, drawing, and book arts, he uses this experience to assist others in the learning process, also to foster a sense of community and collaboration. His motto is, "Whatever I learn, I share with others."
