Ethan Harper earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University where he majored in Scientific/Medical Illustration. He has also been trained in classical oil painting, which, combined with his illustration background, allows him to employ a variety of different techniques and styles while encompassing a wide array of subject matters.
Ethan draws inspiration from his love of science and anatomy, Art Deco architecture and design, and art from the Impressionist Movement. More recently, he has developed a fondness for Plein Air landscape painting,working in both watercolor and oils. Harper is constantly experimenting with different materials and styles in an effort to continually evolve his body of work.
“For me, art has always been about creating; making something beautiful or intriguing for others to enjoy, rather than self expression. It’s the process of creating that brings me the most joy, more so than the finished piece of art itself.”
