Eric Castleman is a writer, illustrator, and SVSLearn alum. Although his interest in art started young, he felt the need to be practical and began his career as a welder. His wife, a painter, encouraged his interest in illustrating children’s books, but it wasn’t until his thirties when his child’s special needs demanded he take time off work that he pursued illustration. Through classes on SVSLearn, a critique group, and consistent effort, Eric’s career developed and he quickly landed an agent.
Today, Eric has illustrated multiple children’s books and taught an online course. He lives and works in Helena, Montana.
