Erik Linton was born in 1984.

Art was a passion from his earliest memories. There was no subject that he didn't attempt to put onto paper. Growing up on the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah provided endless sources of inspiration and exploration. After receiving a master’s degree in public health Erik began a career in the healthcare field. In 2013 he began a "side hustle" selling his artwork and by 2015 he was able to transition to being a full-time artist. Since that time, Erik has had his work published in numerous magazines and books. He has had the privilege of working with renowned designers like Lauren Liess, Joanna Gaines and Kate Chipinski.

He has had his work featured in magazines like Kyoto Journal, Magnolia Journal, and Lincoln Center Theatre. He has worked on world-wide projects with brands like Four Seasons Hotels, Marriott, Makers Mark, Macallan, Target, Filson, and many more.

Erik is a member of the Portrait Society of America, Oil painters of America, and The Art Renewal Center.

Erik currently lives in Cache Valley, Utah with his wife and kids.
