About the Author

Ben grew up on a family farm in Western Pennsylvania and has been around animals all of his life. He graduated from Penn State University with an Agricultural Science degree and worked over 30 years with the Maryland Department of Agriculture as an Ag Specialist. Ben graduated from the Cornerstone Bible Institute in 1996. He also teaches beekeeping classes at a local college and mentors his students from those classes. He is an award-winning author and enjoys speaking about God's marvelous creative works, particularly how observing the plants and animals gives testimony that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by a loving God. Ben serves his local church in camping ministries and has been on several short-term mission trips outside of the U.S. He and his wife have five adult children who were all home schooled. They reside in the mountainous region of Southern Pennsylvania where he writes and enjoys working with his bees.
Sandy Arnold earned her BFA and Masters in Education, Special Education, from Frostburg State University. She currently teaches Fine Arts at Fort Hill High School in Cumberland, MD. Sandy also enjoys making soap and doing hive inspections in her apiary. Painting has always been a meditative process for Sandy. It allows her to quietly reflect on the most important aspects of her life and honor them by creating a piece of artwork. Growing up in a rural town in West Virginia allowed for quiet exploration of all things flora and fauna. Walking barefoot through her father's vegetable garden, with the Appalachian Mountains as a backdrop, was a daily habit during the warm months. It was this upbringing that instilled a deep appreciation for all things grown and made by loving hands. Sandy would like to dedicate her artwork to her father who fostered her love of wildlife.
