About the Artist
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 now reside in the hill country west of Blanco, Texas.

"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
