Erik Custer - Artist
I am a visual artist working in Central Virginia. While primarily a painter, I enjoy working in other mediums and can be found experimenting with techniques. I first developed my love for art by watching Star Wars. As a young child, I could never articulate my fascination with the visuals presented in the series of movies, but I understood that someone had created everything from their imagination. As I’ve grown older, my love for concept art has continued to grow. And while I do not create concept art, the roots of my artistic imagination are there.

When did you know you wanted to be an artist?
I first developed my love for art by watching Star Wars. As a young child, I could never articulate my fascination with the visuals presented in the series of movies, but I understood that someone had created everything from their imagination.
Which of your works are you most proud of?
I am always most proud of what I am working on currently. For me the process of creating art has always been more important than the final product. Not to discount the final piece, but for me it has always been about the journey to that piece. From inception to completion, I am constantly fussing and worrying over the piece, but after completion I tend to lose interest.
What advice do you have for young or aspiring artists?
Don’t get lost in chasing the dream. Keep working and know that for most artists it's a long process that never really ends.
