Erich J. Moffitt is an internationally exhibited painter and freelance illustrator who resides in Seattle, Washington.
Coin KnightMoffitt grew up in Europe and studied Illustration and Art History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Time RookHis whimsical, brightly colored paintings are like modern translations of Romantic-era storybooks, clearly inspired by late-nineteenth century art and culture.
Wilder BishopMany of his paintings are fables, featuring totemic animal archetypes and talismanic objects.
Bow PawnStylistically rendered atop real, artisanal chess sets, this particular art series finds Moffitt recreating chess pieces from the dark side of a chess board.
Word RookPawns, bishops, rooks, and knights are all recast as classic animal characters, saturated with the same magic, fantasy, and romantic symbolism for which the artist is known.
Night Queen“I make art to connect with others and express and explore ideas feelings, and outlooks,” the artist explained.
Flame Knight“I can’t quite put into words as well as I can paint them. Pictures condense and crystalize thoughts for me in a way that gives them a life outside of my mind.”

Good morning Claudia … my studio/bedroom computer is playing up … so I am on my Linx computer in the loungeroom, which my brother set up using TV as the monitor and my WordPress site works well here … Anyhow . I adore these paintings and they full of happiness and energy through his gorgeous animal impressionisms …

I see you running around from computer to computer — great exercise! I think they are full of happiness too. His other artwork (on his website) is just as wonderfully magical!
