I enjoy creating mixed media pieces from found, natural, and upcycled items. I paint with acrylics as well as gouache and watercolor. I also work with fiber to create traditional wool rug hooking pieces. I was trained in illustration and advertising and my work has a strong illustrative feel. Creating art is my passion and sharing that passion with others either through them experiencing my art or when I share my knowledge through instruction is so fulfilling.

Eric is an abstract "automatist" artist who works in a loose abstract gestural style throughout all his media, including stone. His paintings and other 2-D works are largely made without any plan other than to keep a constant reverence for composition and open mind. Often his compositions remain non-objective, but spontaneously works will evolve to become abstract figurative forms using a technique of layering paint.
