About Eric

Eric was born in New York City, but has lived in the Washington area for more than 30 years. He has a bachelors and masters degrees in Economics. For most of his adult life, He was an international lobbyist for a telecommunications trade association.

He decided in my forties that he needed to jump off a figurative cliff and focus his attention on his artwork, a side of himself he had never committed himself to very seriously. At first, he put his artwork in galleries along the east coast, from Manhattan to Ft. Lauderdale. Later, he opened a small retail chain called Artfully Chocolate, four stores that were part art gallery, part chocolate shop. Ready to move on to other avenues to promote his artwork, in June 2015, He closed the last Artfully Chocolate. In October 2015, he decided to become a Virginia realtor. He is employed by Coldwell Banker Elite out of Colonial Beach, VA. He enjoys helping people find their dream home and enjoy answering questions about how art can be used in their new home.

As for his art, he uses several techniques including mosaics in bas relief, translucent acrylic on mylar and translucent acrylic on windows. He draws inspiration for his artwork from a quote by 19th century French philosopher who said "if you asked me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you I came to live out loud." His artwork is bold and colorful and filled with vitality.

He has served as president of the Del Ray Business Association. He has also served on the Board of Visit Alexandria, the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, the Torpedo Factory Art Cener, and the MidCity Business Association in Washington. He currently lives in Alexandria and Colonial Beach with his husband, Edward. He can be reached at enelson@ColdwellBankerElite.com.
