By his own admission ERIC PRICE discovered his passion and talent for painting late (ish) in life when he and his husband moved to Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod, It not only has a well earned reputation for being an artist’s colony but also a very substantial welcoming queer community which proved to be a perfect haven for NY resident Price after 9/11.

Not one for doing things by halves, Price, an ex publisher, went back to school to get a Masters in Fine Arts from the New York Academy of Art in 2019. He told Queerguru. “a large part ofhis studio practice is to paint en plein air. It allows me to express the emotional freedom I feel in nature. I strive to capture light, color, and texture that connects me to my environment. I have been inspired by the American Impressionists as well as such artists as Joaquín Sorolla, Henry Scott Tuke, John Henry Twachtman, Edwin Dickinson, John Koch, and Walter Stuempfig”

Queerguru caught up with him on the eve OF MOMENTS IN THE SUN his new solo exhibit at Greg Salvatori Gallery in PTown. Salvatori, a queer artist, is also Price’s Agent
