Born and raised in Neenah Wisconsin, Erik Scribner spent much of his adult life working, traveling, and studying languages in Asia and Europe.

Tragedy struck in 1997 when Scribner was completely blinded and paralyzed by a rare neurological disease. This was a seemingly impossible predicament for someone destined to eventually become a visual artist.

Much of Scribner's inspiration comes from his past travels and visits to many of the world's most famous art museums. Many of his favorite artists are Dutch.  

After more than two decades of recovery and focus (pun intended), Erik chose to develop his first loved skills of drawing and painting. A self-taught abstract artist, Scribner recalls that some of his earliest memories are of drawing and painting (with watercolors) at the family kitchen table.

It's surprising that Scribner (who is colorblind) uses a myriad of bright colors in most of his work.  Then again, much of what he does is unexpected.

Mission Statement:

After coming to terms with the fact that I can't walk, I've realized the importance of helping others walk again. Therefore, my mission is to help child landmine victims walk again.

Please help me help child landmine victims walk again so that they can grow up, go to school, and live a normal independent life.

A portion of the profits from Scribner Art Studio sales will go to help child landmine survivors walk again!
