Paonia artist Erick Ingraham has been dazzling his fans since receiving his BFA from Kutztown University in 1972. From his early artwork for Organic Gardening Magazine, and Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way, to his numerous children’s book illustrations, Ingraham has established himself as a versatile, discriminating artist.
Most recently, Erick has put together a body of landscape paintings he’s calling, quite fittingly, “Colorado Dreamscapes”.
Colorado Dreamscapes
“Five years ago, I moved to Colorado from the East Coast. For decades, my painting style has been precise and realistic. Now, with the discovery of exciting new surroundings, I felt I was ready to experiment with painting styles beyond my traditional methods.
This body of work is a combination of capturing the essence of the complicated views around me while limiting my use of color.
With the strong drawing and design influences that are at my core,
the result I’m seeing is the refreshing freedom of a “field sketch” where some elements are left unrefined.
Enveloped in altered light, this body of work has elements of mystery with a contemporary feel, creating my new approach to realism – Colorado Dreamscapes.”
