Eric has been drawing, painting and creating works of art in various forms since he was a child. During his college years he studied both fine art and commercial art, as well as design principles and color theory at The Minneapolis College of Art & Design, University of Minnesota, Augsburg College and Hennepin Technical College. He has also completed film and video courses at Film in the Cities and The U of M in St. Paul, MN. 
 

Eric has gravitated toward pencil and colored pencil as his media of choice. Amazing results can be achieved through the expert use of these basic artist’s tools. Putting pencil to paper in its purest form, with a human touch. No AI art here.

When Eric isn't working on an art commission, his creativity and eye for detail manifests itself in the form of home improvement projects and interior design. He also enjoys walks in nature, being around water, people & animals, kayaking, exploring new places, interesting architecture, museums, local cuisine, good music and craft beer. Other interests include sci-fi movies, history, astronomy and paleontology.
