Originally from the St. Louis area, Eric grew up with creative woodwork and craftsmanship as something to look up to from his father's carpentry skills. Eric began his self discovery and and self expression by illustrating. He studied art at Fontbonne University, in St. Louis, where he gained his technical skills as a fine artist. While concentrating in Graphic Design and exploring into other mediums from black and white photography to ceramics, Eric discovered a strong sense of light and shadow as well as composition.

In addition to recieving a bachelors degree in Fine Arts, Eric has gained experience and a vast knowledge in organic farming and the culinary arts. Much of Eric's subject matter is reflective of his close encounters with gardening and his love of nature's forms.

At age 12 Eric began complex illustrations

The unique and rustic print quality that is achieved through woodcut printing, along with clean and simple representation of form, light and shadow, attracted Eric to the medium.

Eric also creates traditional hand drawn renderings for his clients. His techniques include watercolor, pen and ink, ballpoint pen, and charcoal. Eric also creates graphic illustrations from logos to promotional designs.

Eric work was recently shown at The Rock N Roll Craft Show at the Mad Art Gallery at 2727 S. 12th Street in historic Soulard.

Eric is available for custom design and commissioned projects.
