Eric is engaged in art, both as a career and a means of greater consciousness.

Eric Zschiesche (pronounced Z-she) and his wife Faith, live in Ogden Valley, Utah. 

It is an awesome place to live…wonderfully inspiring.

Many paths can lead to a fuller understanding and love of this journey on earth; one must simply have an openness of mind and heart.  For me, painting is a means of striving for fuller sight / insight. As for specifics of the style of work, I refer to it as abstracted realism.  I try to convey a sense of the world around us, without becoming overly fixated on details…everything is in a state of transition, no beginning, no end,…no boundaries.  About 1 ½ years ago, I jettisoned the use of photographic references; the current body of works are created through direct observation and analytical imagination.  Art is a form of human expression, that attempts to address our condition of being alive… go on indulge yourself, and happy trails!

Artist Steve Songer resides in Huntsville, Utah, where he and his wife, Pat, raised their six children. The area surrounding his home in this mountain valley has inspired many of his paintings through the years.
