Herington Metal Art…

Artist Bio

Benjamin Herington is as diverse as his metal art is unique. A native of Iowa, Herington has his roots in the Midwest though lived in 6 states including California, Nevada, and Colorado during his youth. Once returning to Iowa to attend University of Iowa, Ben majored in English and Political Science and minored in Photography. Between studies he played football for the University of Iowa Hawkeyes and was a two-time All-American Collegian US Rugby player.

Upon graduation, Ben moved to his current residence in Central Ohio. He has a burning desire to create and express himself through a variety of mediums but is best known for his metal sculptures. Functional metal furniture has taken a new twist as Herington welds gears, springs, and the like into tables, chairs, and lamps.

Herington Art has been featured in several galleries and the Urban Gardner. Six pieces were commissioned for COSI Columbus, OH and can be found on the second floor in the Gadget Room.

Ben is an avid reader and writer who enjoys music, travel, running marathons, playing and coaching rugby.
