The Art of Resilience with Artist Eric Anfinson of Mockingbird Studios

In this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with artist Eric Anfinson. We spoke about how the first time he picked up a paintbrush he hated the result but fell in love with the process.

It was this love of "doing" that had him coming back for more, eventually creating a fan base around the world.

I particularly LOVE this episode because it touches on how important the process is. If all you care about is the outcome, you may be in for a life of sorrow, but when you love the process, you will have a life of true fulfillment.

More on Eric Anfinson

Eric Anfinson's painting journey began in the fall of 2001 after he moved to a 2x4 mile island where the Gulf of Mexico & the Atlantic meet.

Anfinson is part of a well-established creative collective in Key West, Florida . . . an island known affectionately by locals as 'the rock'. The remote location & unique community continue to offer rich subject matter for Anfinson's work.

The people that call this island home, & those who pass through, live on in the faces & figures in Anfinson's paintings.

A self-trained painter, Anfinson's work is in collections throughout North America & Europe.

Anfinson, a native of Minnesota, paints full-time from his home-based Mockingbird Studio in Key West, Florida.

Art is everything & sometimes simply an essence.
It is the tool that I use & that uses me in return.
It is my best & most critical friend.
But these words mean nothing by themselves...
the work - the active process - is what matters most.

- Eric
