Meet the Artist – Ben Brandes
12:00 PM | Butter + Velvet
Meet the extremely talented digital artist and photographer Ben Brandes this Saturday at 12:00 PM at Butter + Velvet. Ben has been taking photographs since he was 3 years old, and the way he blends images to create one-of-a-kind pieces is truly astonishing! Youth art exhibits are happening all around the area this week, so don’t miss this meet-and-greet with Ben in Downtown Denville this Saturday at 12:00pm! His artwork, along with copies of his coffee table book entitled “Uniquely Beautiful” are available to purchase at Butter + Velvet.
In addition to being a true talent, Ben is also a strong advocate for raising awareness of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), which he suffers from. CAS is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult to plan and produce highly-refined movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, and palate that are necessary when forming speech. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each of his books goes towards helping fund research, provide education, and raise awareness of CAS! You can learn more about CAS here: Apraxia-kids.org and Asha.org
