About Eric

I am a self taught mixed media artist born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and grew up on cartoons, comics, graffiti and skateboarding culture. In the early 2000’s after becoming a father I transitioned into showing my work at galleries, doing private and commercial installations as well as large scale murals and commission work. Plant life, nature, and organic compositions are my main source of inspiration and aerosol as well as pencil work are my primary mediums but since ive always worked without rules or limits in how an artist works towards bringing their vision to life i stay open minded and forever a student to creation and what it means and takes to be an “artist”.
