Using elements of my photography and travels, I catch impressions of fleeting moments with oil on canvas, mixed media assembly, and the Drift Rope Project: recycled rope art from Midcoast Maine potwarp
Eric Darling
I am a self-taught artist native to New England. I traveled west to earn a BA in Anthropology at San Diego State University. Interests such as photography, travel, and culture, as well as an overall appreciation for the natural world are all evident in my work.
