I tend to view art as holistic and inseparable from life - inspired to gain a better sense of awareness I’ve found painting provides, at least, a fictional forum for the practice of comprehension forever curious.

Eric Wixon earned his BFA from Kent State University in 2001. He has been living in San Diego for approximately 3 years and is fast becoming a household name.
944 Magazine selected him as 1 of 5 artists to feature in their Art and Architecture issue. City Beat has published his work more than 6 times including a cover and a full page article. Eric’s work has also been used for the cover of Night and Day, the weekly art insert of the Union Tribune.
Liquid Force use his artwork for both apparel and board graphics. Eric also paints live with Fieldtrip Entertainment at events like 91Xfest, Thread, and Greenfest. He grew familiar with the local gallery scene rather quickly as well focusing on North Park; participating in the monthly Ray at Night (San Diego’s largest art walk) 7 times. His talents have also been generously offered to raise money for charity by donating art to the LM Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, LA Stoked Mentoring, Keep-A-Breast and other charitable organizations.
Within San Diego in 2009 alone Eric completed more than 30 commissions including 15 pieces for the San Diego Repertory Theatre and a large scale interior mural for La Puerta Restaurant. Recognition is being achieved outside the confines of the local art community by getting published in books such as Invision 2 (Eric has a 6 pg. spread in this artist book by another sky press) and painting commissioned murals in Portland, Colorado, and New Zealand. Past shows include but are far from limited to The College of New Jersey for their National Drawing competition, Taos Center for the Arts in New Mexico, and an international traveling shoe exhibition titled Sneaker Pimps.
