Eben Markowski's artistic sensibility was shaped early, growing up in Vermont's Champlain Valley. He spent his formative years exploring the local ecology… climbing trees, kayaking on Lake Champlain, and observing wildlife, developing a deep, firsthand relationship with the natural world that continues to animate his work.

His passion for fabrication took root in his teens at his father's shop, Restoration Performance Motorcars, in Ferrisburgh, Vermont. It was there that Eben undertook one of his most formative projects: rebuilding the body and all non-mechanical components of a 1953 Ferrari racecar, a piece ultimately certified and authenticated by Ferrari. He has also created life-size animal sculptures on commission for private collectors, including an elephant sculpture that toured public venues such as Burlington, Vermont's International Airport, Champlain College, and the city offices at the Town of Middlebury.

In 2019, Eben became the lead fabricator at Box Studio in Cerrillos, New Mexico, where he specializes in large-scale art exhibits leased to botanical gardens across the country. Collaborating with artists and engineers, he constructs monumental works, among them a 30-foot-tall kinetic flower bouquet, and travels with his wife, Heidi Mahoney, COO at Box Studio, to install and dismantle each exhibition, gaining hands-on experience with the full arc of large sculpture handling.

With 30 years of experience as a welder and metal fabricator, Eben has designed and built across an unusually broad range, from farm machinery, to collector cars, to architectural components, engineered components, and original art. He was certified in MIG welding in steel and stainless steel, TIG welding in stainless steel and aluminum, and is proficient in oxy-acetylene aluminum welding. Throughout his career, he has collaborated closely with engineers to ensure that ambition and structural integrity go hand in hand.
