Wildlife Artist Eric Sweet
Welcome. I'm Eric Sweet, a painter driven by exploration and expression, working across a variety of mediums including watercolor, oil paints, and mixed media. I enjoy painting many things from nature—but my work is largely focused on wildlife, with a purpose: to bring awareness to the issue of wildlife–vehicle collisions and inspire greater care and connection between people and the animals we share the road with. Through my art, I aim to inspire reflection, compassion, and action to help protect the creatures whose paths too often cross with our own. I believe that deepening our sense of connection to the animals who share our landscapes and roads, is critical to inspiring change. Please check out my blog, The Road Ahead, and read about research, ideas, and practical ways we can all contribute to reducing wildlife collisions.

My Latest Drop: Re-release of my Impressions series
I’m excited to share the re-release of my Impressions Series. One of two remaining originals, To See What You See, is an abstract oil painting honoring the white rhino. This work reflects both the beauty and fragility of this endangered creature, and speaks to the tragic reality of its disappearance through human greed and carelessness. It’s a piece meant to stir reflection and remind us of what we stand to lose if we fail to protect the wild.
