Six decades of coastal life, captured in oils and acrylics.
Ben Cannon is a renowned nautical artist based in Florida, known for his distinctive and heartfelt portrayals of life along the eastern coast of the United States.
With more than 60 years of experience, his artwork captures the timeless beauty and quiet character of seaside scenes—rustic fishing villages, weathered docks, towering lighthouses, historic sailing vessels, and sunlit ocean shores.
Working in a signature blend of oils and acrylics, Cannon brings motion, atmosphere, and coastal warmth to every composition. Now retired and residing in Florida, he continues to share a lifetime of coastal inspiration through his collected body of work.
