Always a student of the visual arts, Erik received his B.F.A. in 2001 from the Art Academy of Cincinnati & his M.F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art & Design in 2017. He has worked for advertising agencies, graphic design firms as well as more traditional art related companies like exhibit/scene shops and even stain glass studios.

Using a strong formal background in drawing, printmaking and painting, he brings unique understanding to contemporary art,  notable experience and skills.

*Artist note: 
Many of these drawing are extremely detailed and textured. Often too much to convey adequately on the web. Sometimes I even try to highlight the grain or inconsistencies or mistakes with the intention of remaining honest and real. I hope that someday you will to see & enjoy them in person.
