Eric DerGara

Fine artist Eric Dergara works in a variety of media, and has a lifetime of experience in the visual arts.  He sold his first watercolor at the age of eight, and was published by a national interior decorating company at age of eighteen.  Eric currently works in acrylic on canvas.  Using strong color, his vibrant, work conveys his reaction to the natural environmental challenges we are facing in today’s world. He studied painting from his mom, Ann DerGara, an internationally known artist in Brevard, North Carolina.

Since establishing himself as a professional painter in western North Carolina, Eric’s work can now be found in fine galleries across the U.S., from Seattle, to Miami, to Washington D.C., as well as in two galleries in Japan.  Eric lives in the Ashville area, and is a full time artist and stay at home dad.
