"Life delivered me a catastrophe, but I found a richness of soul" - Michael J. Fox

Newly diagnosed with Parkinson's during a global pandemic, E.J. Lanning began each day with a morning walk to stay active. The daily walks evolved from an opportunity for physical exercise into E.J. reflecting on his gratitude for God's blessings & the beauty of nature. His reflections inspired him to try painting for the first time in his life. His goal with each piece of art was to evoke the energy of nature in a bold, colorful & abstract way. Since March of 2020, he has painted over 100 pieces!

E.J. resides in Oceanside, CA with his girlfriend, Maurine. In his free time, he plays with his grandchildren & visits local art galleries for inspiration. Previously a former basketball player, he also enjoys coaching & watching sports.
