Some men are outdoorsmen, and some golfers. Some are businessmen, some husbands. Some are adventurers, and others, artists. Eric Emile Walker is all of these. Now his art has become his greatest adventure.

Living at different locations in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe for two years, Eric, accompanied by his wife Suzy, painted. Since 1999, painting has been his life’s passion.

Involved with art in his youth in Michigan, where he was born in 1962, Eric never lost his fascination with museums and the work of the Masters. He studied and continues to study them. He feels these works on canvas compel him to hold a brush in his hand.

A member of Oil Painters of America and the American Impressionist Society, Eric has shown in Ireland, France and the United States. He had two paintings accepted into the 2007 National Juried Exhibit of the American Impressionist Society and received an Award of Distinction for “A Quiet Harbor.”

Artist’s Statement:
Art is the expression of a personal, sensual experience. My experiences as a traveler through the world have compelled me to capture on canvas the sweeping vistas of the landscapes I’ve seen, the energy, flavor, and light of the backstreets of cities and villages, and the color, texture, and motion of the seas and the boats that float upon them.

Over the years, I have found the best and most natural expression of my art to be in oil. This medium seems to be the most fluid and accommodating, especially when I am painting on location in all types of weather conditions. I have only been painting for eight years. For the first six of those years, I journeyed periodically throughout the eastern United States trying to capture some of the beauty of this country on canvas in addition to the various locales in Europe which I loved to visit and paint. I owned a retail business as well as doing some real estate developing in Florida during this time, so painting was relegated to a “part-time job.” About two years ago, I realized that the desire to create something tangible, lasting, and personal had become a driving force in my life. I sold my business, wrapped up my development deals, and sold the house my wife and I had renovated. We set out for Europe and the life of an itinerant artist. We were fortunate enough to be able to travel for a year abroad. We lived in Ireland and in France, using those as bases to meander through many European countries, always gathering new inspiration for my paintings. I have tried to capture some of the sweeping vistas of the landscapes we have visited, but I have been particularly drawn to the backstreets of the many European cities and villages. I love the energy, flavor, lights, and the sight of everyday people going about their everyday business in these places. I try to do quick sketches on location of the scenes I want to capture and then return to the studio to create a larger, more detailed work. I have found this approach to be stimulating and helpful in both a technical fashion as well as in the entire creative process. I am now living in the United States and am thrilled to be able to capture my own country.
