About Eric Anfinson
Eric Anfinson began his painting journey in 2001 after moving to a tiny island where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Atlantic. Now, as a part of Key West's vibrant creative community, his work captures the essence of the island's people and places, leaving a lasting impression on viewers worldwide.
A self-taught artist, Anfinson's paintings are featured in collections across North America and Europe. Working from his Mockingbird Studio in Key West, Florida, Eric's dedication to his craft shines through in every piece.
Eric describes his relationship with art as a deep and evolving process—one that is less about the final product and more about the act of creating itself.
