Artist, Instructor

The majesty of nature draws me to the outdoors. The ocean or mountains have always been my refuge. Reliving those times through the process of creating art brings those memories and feelings back to the present. By sharing this art, perhaps it creates that same feeling of serenity for others.

Collecting inspiration from the world around us in photographs and daily illustrated journals bring inspiration. This forms the basis for my creative endeavors. Acrylic and other water-based medium are used in a variety of sizes on canvas, panels and 300# paper. Representational landscapes, trees and florals fill the studio.

While largely self-taught, mentors in my life have guided me through a variety of creative endeavors. Painting has become my passion. A constant exploration of additional mediums and subject expand my skill and challenge my inner artist.

Photographer

An artist with the camera, Erick’s strong background in design combined with his love for travel, life and nature certainly burst through when one gazes at any of his captured works.  He takes the tame and runs wild then tames the wild - at least just for the moment.  Enjoy his combining of color, light, and design sensibilities as you explore his photo-art journey.

Erick is also our studio photographer and documents all the art pieces for inventory and reproduction.

Artist, Artistic Director, Instructor, Studio Manager

Military aide, retail management, home contracting, computer design work, artist, master wood craftsman and school teacher, all career pursuits that now join to serve me quite well for the best combination on this earth.  An artist and studio manager, creating new work through acrylic experimentation. The aging process has lead to a transition from detailed intricate work to a more contemporary looser style with an emphasis is texture, color and composition.
