About the Artist:
Working somewhere in-between scientific observation and romantic idealism, my goal is to create a living image that breathes and moves. I make large and small scale canvases inspired by the visual energy of artists such as Charles Burchfield and Emily Carr. Each successive layer of paint is imbued with the joy of discovery, fear for the unknown, and tension between life and death.

My most recent work combines acrylic painting with oil pastel bursting with tropical plants, fruit trees, and edible landscaping. Over the past seven years, I have been cultivating my yard as a habitat for wildlife, food for my pantry, and imagery for my paintings. I depict the natural world with an emotional range of colors, textures and mark-making. By placing emphasis on the expressive qualities of my medium, I hope to guide the viewer into an immersive experience that overwhelms the visual senses. - ehrenfritzgerhard.wixsite.com
