Erich J. Moffitt is an internationally exhibited painter and freelance illustrator who resides in Seattle, Washington.

Coin Knight

Moffitt grew up in Europe and studied Illustration and Art History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Time Rook

His whimsical, brightly colored paintings are like modern translations of Romantic-era storybooks, clearly inspired by late-nineteenth century art and culture. 

Wilder Bishop

Many of his paintings are fables, featuring totemic animal archetypes and talismanic objects.

Bow Pawn

Stylistically rendered atop real, artisanal chess sets, this particular art series finds Moffitt recreating chess pieces from the dark side of a chess board.

Word Rook

Pawns, 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.”
