Ben Mowll ROI PPRSMA

Ben Mowll, RSMA has been painting and exhibiting for nearly 30 years in both oil and watercolour.

He is a past President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) and recently elected a member of the Royal institute of Oil Painters who are both based in the Mall Galleries, just off Trafalgar Square, London.

He exhibits regularly in London and in his home county of Kent. His work is in private collections in the UK, the USA, Europe, the Middle East and Australia.

He has won numerous awards, including  the St Cuthberts Mill Prize for best work on paper in the 2006 RSMA exhibition. In 2007 his work was chosen by the President of the RSMA to represent them at the Boat Show, Earls Court. In 2013 he was awarded the Buzzacott prize for best watercolour in the annual exhibition of the RSMA. 

Travel is a significant feature of his work; not only throughout his immediate environment of Kent but also London, the South Coast, Norfolk and further afield to France, Morocco, India and especially to Italy. Venice has always been and remains an increasing inspiration. 

He enjoys working en plein air as well as in the studio.

Light, atmosphere and the presence of water are notable features of his work. It is the celebration of these elements that make his work distinctive and desirable.
