Growing up in southwestern Pennsylvania, Eric spent most of his childhood growing up in the country, surrounded by nature.  Often walking through the woods and fields many animals caught his attention and would soon be the subjects he would be painting. He also developed an interest in photography allowing him to get closer to wildlife he soon would be painting, capturing the details and observing light.

 

His attention to detail was evident early on.  After Eric graduated college, he developed an interest in human anatomy and had a long career as a medical illustrator and is widely published in medical journals and books.  

 

But, it is Eric’s love for wildlife and landscape painting is where he is most content.  He believes that conservation is the key to a healthy wildlife populations.

 

He is an avid outdoorsman, spending countless hours in the field and on the stream photographing and studying animals and objects in their environment. Eric’s paintings reflect his love for wildlife and the outdoors.
