Detail:

My name is Eric Benjamin Lopez, from which I created EBENLO as a suitable artistic amalgam of my given name.  E-ric BEN-jamin LO-pez, see?  I also call myself "Painter of Song," as I paint musically inclined works as both a music producer and fine artist.  I was born on June 16th, 1976, and raised by a loving family, in the town of Rupert, Idaho.

I always liked to draw and I started keeping sketchbooks around the age of 13, and I made friends by showing others my drawings.  One lucky day, I met my friend Ted who over the years served as a bit of a mentor to me. Ted went to the Art Center, in Pasadena, and taught me a bit of what he learned there.  I also learned from Mrs. Karen Hansen at Minico High School, who taught me a good deal, especially about the principle of serendipity, and how your mistakes can become your strengths, which is something that always reminds me of her, and how good I had it in High School, drawing and making art with her and my high-school friends.

I was also privileged to study under Robert C. Moore. The American Impressionist, of Declo, ID.  Robert took me under his wing and taught me how to make good art and ship it around the United States.  I loved learning with Robert, and he is my good friend.  Actually, I learned a lot from all my mentors, and I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

The artist has survived hardship, and was even in a coma for about 3 days in November 2013.  The doctors involved in aiding treatment said it must've been caused by some prescription medications he was taking at the time.

Ebenlo has studied art seriously since his youth and even has work hanging in a museum in Tennessee.
