David Erickson grew up emulating the works of the masters using rudimentary tools. Eric received his fine arts training while apprenticing under other painters and is primarily self-taught. He became an artist through sheer will, grit, and determination. āI enjoy layers of transparency and the unpredictable nature of water-based mediumsā. Eric explores themes of memory and place often through abstract and draws inspiration from the world around him, across a multitude of disciplines. Davidās passions are drawing, painting, illustration, design, film, and photography. When David is not painting, his time is spent enjoying the outdoors with canine companions.
