Eric's Artist's Satement :

I create and use photography to capture and accentuate all the beauty I see in the world around me. I want to share this beauty with the public, by exhibiting and selling my work in galleries, museums and many other venues throughout the United States and Europe. 

My photographic work encompasses beautiful Black & White and Color Photographs. My work includes still lifes, scenics, many colorful abstracts, and portraits of celebrities and ordinary people.

I create my artwork based on what inspires me at a particular time or moment.  I an honored and very appreciative when the general public or galleries, and private collectors  want to purchase my work.

My work is created and captured  various places, at the beaches in the Caribbean, Europe and the United States.  I have travelled extensively to various countries to capture many of my amazing photographs. Please see a small sampling of my some of my amazing art work, on my website.
