Erick grew up in the beautiful woods of northern Minnesota. He quite literally was raised in a log cabin until the age of 11, when his father built there beautiful house up on the hill over-looking Pike river.

​

Erick loved to draw and color with crayons at an early age, and started painting with watercolor and acrylics around the age of 14.

Through the years, Erick has been juried into prestigious art shows, and has limited edition prints and original art work in many homes around the country, including Canada.
