Eric's bronze

celebrities and private collectors enthusiastically collect his
bronze sculptures, paintings & prints. Sales of his sculptures has generated millions of dollars
in contributions to non profit organizations. Cyndy Thorsen manages our galleries and staff. We have
6500 square feet of studio & gallery open to the public with Eric's
bronze sculptures, paintings & prints on display. See sculptures &
paintings in progress. We also have sculptures, paintings & prints on display in
other parts of USA.

Eric's subjects for
sculptures, paintings & prints are diverse, but are often focused
on human and animal subjects. Eric also enjoys painting
landscapes. Our main gallery is located in
Bigfork, Montana, a
beautiful town
just an hour south of Glacier International Park. Eric's studio is located in a 100
year old building displaying his sculptures, paintings & prints in
downtown Bigfork. We have also developed a sculpture park
in downtown Bigfork to display outdoor bronze sculptures. Visitors enjoy
a view of Flathead Lake as well as a bronze sculpture fountain.
Eric
started by carving fish in wood. In the beginning of his
career at 24 he won Best in World with his wood sculpture called
"Mystery of the
Redd". Soon
after he was introduced to clay and the real excitement began.
He soon began producing literally hundreds of clay sculptures to be cast
in bronze. His sculptures are highly acclaimed, winning him awards and
honors nationwide.
We have had our gallery in
Montana since 1993. We continue to expand. Our
gallery in Whitefish, Montana is scheduled to be opened in November of
2005. Instead of working with many galleries as common in the art
business we sell most of Eric's work directly to collectors.
This gives us a personal communication with our collectors.
Eric's primary
studio is
6500 square feet, located across the street from our main gallery in
downtown
Bigfork. Here visitors can view him at work during our
guided tours. Eric
also maintains a public studio located in the
gallery for viewing anytime during business hours.Eric
needs more than
photographs to create his works. His photographic
Imagination is his source for his inspiration. Eric learns
the anatomy
and personality of the subject to begin a project.
Cyndy and Eric
travel
to use live animals or models as references for sculptures in progress.
