John Erickson Art - John Erickson, MD

Dr. John Erickson is an orthopedic surgeon and hand specialist who practices in Raleigh, North Carolina. He has always enjoyed creating art in various mediums, but the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 gave him the rare opportunity to slow down and try his hand at painting. During the first few stressful months of the pandemic, painting provided him with an outlet for relaxation and creativity.

Currently, John Erickson appreciates the process of creating art in his free time and being present in the moment while painting. He is a self-taught artist — therefore his painting style changes with time and fresh exploration on the canvas. Inspired by the beauty of nature, John often paints ocean scenes, salt marshes, and mountain landscapes. He hopes that his artwork is approachable and able to produce joy wherever it is displayed. His original work can be viewed and purchased at ArtSouce FineArt in Raleigh, NC. Below is a sample of his most recent paintings.
