Eric Price is a self taught sculptor with ten years experience. I work in clay as well as Super Sculpey. I mostly portray the human anatomy. I am highly motivated and passionate for what I do. I Attended West Liberty State College on a Portfolio Review Scholarship in August of 2000. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in December 2005. I worked as an Adjunct Professor at The Stifel Fine Arts Center in 2007 teaching Portrait Sculpture classes. Currently I reside in Lansing, OH and run Eric's Priceless Pieces, where I create sculptures from my clients personal photographs.
Some of my earliest memories about sculpture revolve around action figures. As a child, I was fascinated with the idea of toy making and imagining the process used to create my entertainment. However, I was disappointed with some toys due to their lack of detail or realism. Therefore, I would create additional parts out of household items and imagination in an effort to make my action figures or play sets look more attractive.
This is where I feel my interest in sculpture originates. With art, it’s always important that you use certain elements that have a certain meaning to you. With this, I feel my fascination with toys are incorporated with my bodies of work.
I view my sculptures as personalized action figures for both myself, as well as my clients. Human anatomy and attention to detail are an important focus of mine. I also feel that a good paint job enhances the overall work, but being able to capture depth with shape and form brings the piece to life.
Sculpture is my passion. It is in my blood to work three dimensionally and I will continue to do so until the day I no longer can. Until then, I have plenty of work ahead of me.
