About

Hello!  If we haven’t met yet I am glad you are here, please allow me to get you up to speed with a little bit about myself.  I am Eric VanSingel, I went to Western Michigan University and studied Fine Art, focussing on acrylic and watercolor painting.  These days I work in Acrylic and digital as a freelance Artist and Art Mentor.  You can see some of my work in my gallery.  I created the Digital Art Ranch to be a hub of my artistic endeavors as I love to paint pets in unique settings, house portraits, do freelance illustrations, and provide art mentorship.

As an Art mentor my simple wish is to provide instruction based on your goals.  I want to listen to you and your desires to be a guide down your art path regardless of your current skill.  I am here to build a relationship and equip you with what you need to be the best version of your artist self.

How did I get here?  Well I always wanted to do something with art, and like I said I did go to school for it.  I worked at a frame shop and painted – I had some shows, won some awards, sold some paintings, but eventually I ended up with a pretty square gig.  I found my way in the mortgage servicing and real estate sectors, and rather liked it while I did it.  Ive held supervisor and manager positions and I learned something about myself – I really liked to mentor others, and I was good at it!  I have since moved on from my corporate life and you found where I reside online – the Digital Art Ranch!

Now that you know a little more about why I am here, I would love to hear from you!  Please feel free to contact me here and mention my about page – tell me why you are here, how you got here, whatever you want! 

Its nice to meet you and I am grateful you stopped by!
