    Bio & Artist Statement Eric Harrison
     


     “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
    -Henry D. Thoreau
     


    Eric Harrison-born 1971 in San Antonio, Texas.  In 1995 he married Kim Marie, and together they have two sons, Noah and Ethan.  The Harrison’s reside in the hill country west of Blanco, Texas.
     


    Currently painting in a language resonant with other Texas artists such as Robert and Julian Onderdonk, Robert Wood, Porfirio Salinas, Dawson  Dawson-Watson, and Robert Harrison; with an affinity toward the work of California painter William Wendt.

    "My art is the result of my thoughts and feelings about the place where I live.  Freedom, Imagination and encounter with nature are the source from which these visions are realized. Ultimately these paintings stand as evidence of a life being lived, and above all are meant to be seen, so as you look at the paintings allow your eye to wander and your mind to wonder"  -Eric Harrison
