Eric Anfinson’s journey began in Key West during the fall of 2001. After he moved to the end of the road where the Gulf of Mexico & the Atlantic meet, Anfinson became part of a well-established creative collective. The remote location & unique community continue to offer subject matter for Anfinson’s work.
The People that call this island home and those who pass through, live on in the faces & figures in Anfinson’s provocative paintings.
A self-trained painter, Anfinson’s work is in collections throughout North America & Europe.
Anfinson, a native of Minnesota, paints full time from his Mockingbird Studio in Key West, Florida
