ERIC ZINER

Blacksmith

 
 

The  son of an artist, Eric started moving metal when he was in high

school, and continues to create metalwork now, thirty four years later.

Trained  as  a certified welder, he then became involved with blacksmithing after several years in Oregon, as a member of NWBA. Eric found it more fun creating  art, than industrial fabrication. His works have included architectural  office installations, atrium ornaments at the University of Oregon, Fish sculptures at the Philadelphia Fish Co. and locally, fanciful home  accessories. Maintaining a gallery, and studio on Deer Isle for the last 20 years, Eric has had plenty of opportunities for commissions, installations, and teaching. Now, surrounded with farm animals, an appreciation for the local fishing industry, and an acute sense of the environment, he finds endless inspirations to convey his stories through artistic metalwork.
