From the Artist & Founder of "SnarkArt"...

Welcome and thank you for visiting my website!

I've put together many different things for your viewing pleasure. This site currently provides a sampling of my artwork, teaching schedule, résumé/curriculum vitae, information regarding my new book "Creating Books & Boxes" (Don't forget to put a review online, the feedback is great!), and resources. Below is a listing of current exhibitions, teaching schedule (Lawrence University), and class reviews. Peruse the area and if you feel inspired, send your thoughts and questions this way.

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 seventeen years of teaching experience, his goal is to support other artists throughout the creative process, to foster a sense of community, and collaboration. His motto is, "Whatever I learn, I share with others."
