Biography
Eric was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1960. He had a gift for drawing at a very early age and excelled in drafting and industrial arts while in high school. He graduated with a Master's Degree in Landscape Architecture from Texas A&M and soon began a 23-year career as a golf course architect in Arlington, Texas. His drawing and design skills were well suited for the profession but a transition from "hand drawings" to computer aided drafting left him feeling empty. What followed was a decision to begin carving out time for his own art through workshops, instructional videos, and hours of practice.
The economic recession of 2008 altered his career path in a positive way. He ventured away from the drafting table, deadlines, and CAD documents for a career in sales. This change simply afforded him more time to paint. He dedicated the next 12 years to painting part-time and testing the quality of his artwork in national competitions. He retired from his job in sales in March 2023 to pursue painting full time.
Most of Eric's artwork focuses on the theme of Western Art. He loves capturing the "spirit" of his subject's whether they are cowboys, Native Americans, longhorn steers or rustic landscapes. One of his favorite artists was a well-known Frenchman named William Bouguereau (1825-1905). Eric tries to emulate his strong sense of design, paint quality and overall simplicity. While most of his artwork is in oils, Eric also produces works in pencil, charcoal, and pen and ink.
