Erik Ebeling is from Overland Park, Kansas. He studied at the Lorenzo de Medici Institute of Art in Florence, Italy, and graduated in 2005 from Drake University with a BFA in graphic design and a concentration in painting. After working as a senior graphic designer for Disney Interactive for several years, he shifted his attention to sculpture. The human form is the main focus; deeply inspired by the early masters, the goal is to attempt to achieve an effect that is simultaneously ancient and modern. He now lives and works in Portland, Oregon.
