   Our "Artist of the Month"                                     

            Eric Isenberg

            March , 2010     

Our Artist of the Month, Eric Isenberg, was born in  1939 in

in Aberdeen, Washington.

He moved to the Quinalt Indian Reservation, Quinalt,

Washington, in 1951 where he began a commercial art               

course from the Famous Artists School of Minneapolis,

Minnesota.                             

From there he moved to Crescent City, California where he

studied art for four years, until graduating from Del Norte

High School in 1957. 

As a government employee for the U.S. Army assigned to the Panama Canal Zone, he put his talent to use as an illustrator/artist from 1968 - 1980. While stationed in Panama he continued his art education with courses in both art and engineering.  Eric also proofed maps for the Panama Canal Treaties for the U.S. government.  Upon completion of his work in this area, Eric moved to Magna, Utah and finally landed in Moapa, Nevada in 1984.

Now he is an active member of the Virgin Valley Artists Association (VVAA) and the Moapa Valley Artists Association.  A proven and multitalented artist, Eric still loves the class environment.

He has commissioned portraits in oils and charcoal as well as other paintings throughout Central America and the western states, Georgia and Illinois.  Some of his sculptures of cowboys, native americans and horses - as well as many cartoon characters - are on display in Utah and Nevada.  His current home town has been a source of commissioned works of old town Moapa from prints taken in 1987.  Copies of these prints can be ordered in limited editions.

           Eric's art will be on display at

                    the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery  through

                      March 31st. The Gallery is open Monday

                          through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
