Eric Buechel
Internationally known artist Eric Buechel, a self described humanist, environmentalist and historian, was born in Passaic, New Jersey, July 2,1958. Buechel acquired his love of art from his father Ernest Buechel who himself was a talented artist and Master Ship Modeler born in Koblez, Germany.
After spending much of his youth studying the works of the masters and working diligently on his craft, Buechel won a scholarship in 1977 from the New Jersey Art Directors Club and went on to attend DuCret School of Art in Plainfield, NJ. During his time there, Buechel took countless trips to some of the world’s most renowned museums in New York City.
Perhaps the most important thing to happen in young Buechel’s life at DuCret was meeting Dr. Furman J. Finck, an official presidential portrait painter. Under Finck's tutelage and studying Finck's work at his Manhattan studio, Buechel learned a technique using a Wolff's carbon pencil to draw incredibly detailed portraits rivaling the detail of the photographic realism of artist Chuck Close.
