Born and raised in Humboldt County California, Eric has drawn and painted since he was a child and has been painting professionally for over 15 years. Having grown up on a farm (his father grew potatoes), he has always felt drawn to rural areas and their inherent beauty. Eric subscribes to the idea that art is an enduring record of an emotional response to our environment. "I find myself drawn to painting scenes that reflect a sense of tranquility, of finding beauty in unexpected places, and of almost meditative simplicity." He is fascinated by light and its subtleties, be it the bright, golden light and deep blue violet shadows of a summer evening or the muted, cool light from a sunless window playing across the skin of an apple. Eric uses professional grade paint on Arches 140 lb. cold-pressed paper, materials that he feels are well-suited to capture the fleeting transparent effects of light. He strives for a balance between representation and subtle abstraction. The work allows for a level of interpretation on the part of the viewer, while at the same time capturing the combination of factors that sparks Eric’s emotional response, especially the light of a particular place and time of day, its effects on the subjects and atmosphere, and the overall mood it creates. |
