Erik David Behnke 
Erik is a young
adult artist and Special Olympic Athlete from Alaska. He was born when
his parents were trappers at Lake Clark, and grew up in many small towns
and villages with his mother, a "bush/rural" teacher. Today he lives in
the artist community of Homer.
He has been
developing his skill in art for over 10 years, with his favorite medium
being a combination of pen and felt tip marker. He draws all of his
black lines in his own creative style and adds color as he imagines.
As an adult with
Down's Syndrome, Erik's innocence prevails in all of his art. His goal
is to work independently as an Alaskan artist, sharing this colorful,
childlike view of life.
