Eric has spent many hours and traveled many miles honing his talents as a visual artist specializing in fine arts and commercial photography. He was born into a farm family in southern New Castle County, near Clayton, Delaware. In his early years, Eric spent much of his time working on the farm and involved with various 4-H projects and activities. He earned a BFA in Fine Arts from the University of Delaware, where he studied under photographers John Weiss, Priscilla Smith, and Peter Croydon. He has developed his own style and vision while also learning from such notable photographers as Jay Maisel, Robert Llewellyn, and Arthur Meyerson.
 
Eric's photo career is best described as eclectic. He works in such photographic fields as wildlife and travel photography, portraiture, commercial and sports photography, photojournalism, and digital photo retouching.  His client list includes Fila shoes, Budweiser and Mercedes Benz.  His work has been published and exhibited to great acclaim, and has received multiple awards and honors. Eric's artwork has found its way to many private collectors and patrons around the world.

When asked what his favorite thing about being an artist is, Eric just smiles and says, "The reaction and connection the viewer has to my artwork." 

Previously Eric has been an adjunct faculty member at Cecil College in North East, Maryland. He is currently an adjunct instructor at the Visual Communications program at Delaware Technical Community College in Dover, Delaware. He has taught a range of subjects including: digital imaging, studio photography, nature and wildlife and travel photography. Many of his students have gone on to be award winning artists themselves.
