from the artist: I've long been inspired by old things. The texture and play of light on a weathered surface are the things that spark my imagination. I seek to capture a building's essence in my paintings, in a time less hurried with a calmness of spirit. Their strong simple shapes inspire me to try to somehow preserve their beauty captured at a moment in time.

Eric Petsinger:
Two things in Eric Petsinger’s life are truly memorable. The first is a day in 1968 when his mother left the house a brunette and came home a blonde. The second was opening epoca, the beautifully edited San Francisco gallery, a fixture in the San Francisco Design Center neighborhood since 2003. In epoca, Eric has created a layered inventory with a ‘something for everyone’ approach, blending American and European antiques with 20th century furnishings. Whether assisting an interior designer or an antiques enthusiast, Eric says, “Mix it up! Go ahead and put that shapely French rococo armchair next to a sleek John Widdicomb sofa and see how they bring out each other’s beauty.”
