Eric Harrison was born in San Antonio, Texas. Born into a family of artists, his great-grandmother, Myrtle Harrison-Lowery painted the Texas landscape from Wimberley to the Rio Grande. She was instrumental in passing on the love of painting to his father, renowned Texas artist Robert Harrison. "Growing up in a household enthusiastic about art and watching my dad paint those beautiful landscapes day after day has certainly laid a good foundation from which to pursue art in my own life."

Primarily self taught, Eric is always ready to learn more about his craft and enjoys the fellowship of many talented artist friends. Past exhibitions of his work have included the University of Texas at San Antonio, the Buckhorn Museum in San Antonio, Texas, the Best of the Best Art show in Salado, Texas, the Alamo Kiwanis Western Art Show in San Antonio, Tx, J.R. Mooney Galleries in Austin and San Antonio.

Currently his work may be seen and purchased at The Country Store Gallery in Austin, TX, Larry Prellop Fine Art Gallery in Salado, TX, Charles Morin's Vintage Texas Art Gallery in San Antonio, TX, and at Smilovici's Galleria in Boerne.
