Erik began drawing and painting in kindergarten. His mother was an artist and encouraged him to pursue art, but his medical training and a busy career in retinal surgery left little time for painting. Now that his career is behind him, Erik finally has more time at the easel. He enjoys painting landscapes, golf courses, and coastal scenes—often “en plein air”—and has also done portraits. 

 

“The Galien River at dusk is shrouded in purple and pink hues when I painted the scene close to sunset. The soft light obscures the details, and the water frames the grove of trees.”
