Eric Harrison

“Untitled”

Eric Harrison was born in 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, he paints 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. Eric is one of four in his family to paint professionally. Eric's great grandmother Myrtle, his Father Robert and his 16-year old son Noah are all great Texas artists. He says "my art is the result of my thoughts and feelings about the place where I live. Freedom, imagination and encounter with nature are the sources 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."
