PAINTING IN THE DEEP END (Suggested for Stage Five; Flow)

Eric Zener is a highly successful contemporary artist who lives and works in the Bay Area. While much of his work features women in swimming pools, his thoughts run much deeper, as he uses water as a vehicle to tell stories of vulnerability, submergence, joy, nostalgia, birth, chaos and more. This month’s Inspiration is a very informative interview where Nicholas and Eric talk about path, process, metaphor and advice for being a successful artist.

 
In this interview you will learn:
 
– How having a job Eric hated led him to discovering he wanted to be an artist
– Eric’s belief and advice on what it takes to be a successful artist
– How Eric makes unique prints to make his work available to many
