Benoit became a professional artist in 1970 when he sold three artworks on opening night in a group exhibit at Dimensions Art Gallery in Westwood Massachusetts.

Self-taught, Benoit has explored various media including Acrylic on canvas, Enamel on Plexiglas, Rustic Woodworking and mixed media. Currently working on variations for Faces of Love, and the interplay of the heart shape, words and the facial representations that result.
