Ben Groff
Ben Groff is an essentially realistic oil painter, although ‘his landscapes seem dipped in the space between reality and gossamer-fantasy,’ according to visitedmonds.com — a unique blend of realism and expressionism. Above all he seeks to work with heightened color and light to express the spiritual essence that he finds in that sudden, transitory moment of illumination the image contains, making it permanent.
Groff was born in Pennsylvania, growing up there and among the little hills of Rockland County, New York. He moved to Seattle after college, later to Lynnwood, and has lived here ever since, enjoying a long career as a nurse at Virginia Mason Hospital. His interests have included hiking, mountaineering, and world travel. However his deepest concern has always been pan-artistic, spanning music, photography, art, and literature; he has been a fiction writer with many published stories.
