Eric Wolf

Wolf spoke about his career as a landscape painter in an interview in Rural Intelligence, October 2020.

“I never expected to be so attached to the landscape and landscape painting, but there are meaningful connections to my childhood that emerged once I launched into this project, which was the summer of 1989 at Skowhegan. It’s an artist colony summer artist program. I made many friends there. In my childhood, my family went on camping trips, and these were intriguing opportunities for me to experience nature in solitude. It was different from the nature of where I grew up in suburbia, where we did have nature, but just in limited chunks. In the natural environment and in solitude, I found that my imagination took off in many directions and I felt inspired”.

Eric is based in New York’s Hudson Valley.
