Over the years Erik has received many important commissions from such prestigious organizations as the United States Horse Cavalry, the Vaqueros Association, the First Cavalry Division, the United State Naval Academy, the Don & Linda Carter community spirit award for the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, the U.S. Air Force academy and the Brooks Army Medical Center. The scope of these sculptures has ranged from bas-reliefs to portraits, to full length figures. He creates commissioned portrait reliefs on a regular bases for Southwell, Inc. for clients around the country. His most recent commission is a life size of “Our Lady of Guadalupe" and Juan Diego for the New Mexican American cultural center in down town San Antonio. This will be unveiled this November 1999.

Erik has studied every aspect of bronze sculpture, from concept to casing. He has worked for ten years at the Stevens Art Foundry in Bulverde, Texas learning what few schools could teach. In addition to his skill as a sculptor, he is a master at fabricating molds, chasing wax positives, casting and finishing bronze, and the pagination process. further, he has assisted several noted sculptors in creating heroic-sized sculptures of national importance. This work had entailed solving anatomical problems, constructing steel armatures and 'pointing up' many larger-than-life size sculptures.

Erik's work reflects his deep interest in creating historically accurate figures while breathing life into his work. Those who have seen his creations agree that he has succeeded on both account.

Erik lives on a hillside in scenic Texas hill country near Honey Creek with his wife, Elena, who is also an artist. He looks forward to spending many years doing what he loves best...sculpting.

Having met Erik and listened to him on several occasions and spoken with him in person and on the telephone, I know he will create a True Masterpiece. He exudes confidence in his craft and he looks at his work as if it were his very own child.
He is caring and passionate about his creations and does research on his subjects as if he were writing a novel...but then as the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words". After all, he is creating a novel in the form of a visual and tangible item. He is creating a picture in the observers mind, a picture that will forever tell the story of a Great Texas Legend,
Colonel Juan N. Seguin, defender of the Alamo and Hero at San Jacinto.........
Eric, Texas looks forward to your masterpiece!
