Erik David Behnke
Erik is a young adult artist and Special Olympic Athlete from Alaska. He was born when his parents were trappers at Lake Clark, and grew up in many small towns and villages with his mother, a "bush/rural" teacher. Today he lives in the artist community of Homer. He has been developing his skill in art for over 10 years, with his favorite medium being a combination of pen and felt tip marker. He draws all of his black lines in his own creative style and adds color as he imagines. As an adult with Down's Syndrome, Erik's innocence prevails in all of his art. His goal is to work independently as an Alaskan artist, sharing this colorful, childlike view of life. (click on thumbnail to enlarge) We also have packs of cards by Erik.
