Born in the late 1960's to a working class family from Lynn, Massachusetts Eric spent his teenage years in central NH. Working at his fathers gas station for several years during the 1980's he learned how to repair and gained an appreciation of all vehicles.

He has owned several classic cars (none in very good shape) and has a great appreciation for rusty gold. Drawing on his extensive background with vintage vehicles he desires to convey the feel of the rust, the smell of the old gas and oil as well as the quiet and distinguished decent into decay that these wonderful old vehicles display. He primarily works with acrylics and watercolor.

He has written, illustrated and published a children's picture book called All Cracked Up and illustrated another picture book for a commission called The Football Princess. He does extensive digital work having designed Christmas cards and Facebook ads.

Cartooning and animation, especially classic Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, etc.., has had a major influence on all of his work. The precise lines, timing, slapstick and artistic design fascinates Eric to this day. His Pickles McGee character is somewhat modeled after those beloved old 'toons. Today he can be found in his studio North of Chicago - working on new paintings daily. His automotive artwork is displayed at Bootzie's Gallery in Wailea. https://www.enchantressgallery.com/
