Carla Benjamin is a nature-based contemporary, traditional fine artist working in encaustic and photography in Minnesota. Inspired by the changing seasons and the cycles of the natural world, Benjamin has expressed that inspiration in several media and forms over the years including stained glass, acrylic paint, monoprint, and sculpture. Benjamin creates art that inspires, calms, and renews the viewer in tumultuous times and at life-altering moments.
