Welcome to the website of H. Eric Hartman, *art-man*, a sight-impaired artist from New Orleans. Self-taught, Eric worked for 10 years as a papier mache' sculptor achieving first regional and then national recognition for his work. In recent years, he has set aside his sculpture tools and turned his artistic endeavors to a new direction, impressionist oil paintings. If there's sun out, then Eric grabs his backpack loaded with everything necessary for a day of Plein Air painting.

Whether it is a new landscape painting, a whimsical sculpture of a New Orleans musician or in a Mardi Gras Float, Eric's unique vision, sense of composition and joy for life shines through.

New Paintings

WOW!!! Eric's largest painting ever - 3ft x 3ft!

Can a sight-impaired artist, who stands in front of a 3ftx3ft canvas with his depleted vision only seeing 5% of the canvas at a time, actually compose and paint the entire canvas? The thought frightened me. But, sometimes we must go beyond our fears. Here is what I was able to do by countlessly backing up 15ft to see everthing and then walking back up and paint. It was challeging. who kow how far I walked. Somehow after a month and 1/2, I feel I was able to get it done. What a gift I've been given!

Enjoy the sun and listen for the unique clanking of our historic stretcars!!!!!
