	About Eric Mauro Welcome to my web site and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, Eric Mauro. I am a painter and computer artist. I work as a photoshop retoucher and paint at night. In between I do what I can to help raise the family. I recently graduated from Mass. College of Art, where my painting teachers were Fabienne Laserre, Stuart Diamond and Roger Tibbetts. I have shown my work during various school functions and local art fairs. I learned to draw in a very classical manner working from life and observation. I then worked in advertising art departments here and there for about ten years, culminating in the founding of my own animation company. I quit animating in 2003 to go back to school. My art owes an awful lot to the study of historical methods of painting, but I try to keep in my time by doing plenty of observational painting and drawing. I have embarked on a new program to copy paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. I do this to understand great artists and their experience composing with rectangles as well as in deep space. I also try to copy beautiful brush strokes and colors. My subjects are wide ranging, from interiors with figures to observed landscapes to renderings of my wire sculptures. I work primarily from observation and drawings.
