It's Been a Year Since Filming Our Pilot!

  I can't believe it, but it's been exactly one year since we filmed our pilot episode on April 18th, 2025.  As an artist and a teacher, creating a TV program was a totally new experience for me.  It was very exciting, but I didn't know exactly what to do!  But I had a vision and an amazing production manager named Tim Hillmann at Studio 94 Video who brought my vision to life.  (Tim films and edits the program and we couldn't do it without him!)
  When we started this project, it was pretty intimidating to figure out the process, but I also had amazing support from my friend, J Schwanke.  J is the host of one of my favorite shows, J Schwanke's Life in Bloom.  I was a guest on an episode titled, "Painting and Flowers" and it was an amazing experience.  J and his family encouraged me to create Eric En Plein Air and I'm so happy that they've become my friends.
  With our program, I want to encourage others to create art, visit natural areas, support wildlife and find peace in your surroundings.  Whether you're painting, drawing, taking photos, or simply admiring the beauty of nature, it is a therapeutic and enjoyable way to engage with the world.    
  As a public TV program, we really rely on the donations and encouragement from our supporters.  And reading the emails, comments and speaking with supporters in person has been incredible.  Thank you for being a big part of our journey - "Let's Go Paint!"
