https://www.collin.edu/department/artsgallery/Born and raised in South Texas, Eric Fuertes received his BFA from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, where he studied the art of metal casting and fabrication. During his final semester, Eric moved to Houston, where he worked as a foundry man at Keen Foundry Inc. In the fall of 2008, Eric moved to DeKalb, Illinois to pursue an MFA in Sculpture at Northern Illinois University. Upon graduating with his MFA degree (with honors), Eric extended his stay in DeKalb and is currently an Adjunct Faculty Instructor in Sculpture/3D Foundations at NIU.
He continues to create his own sculptural works and has recently been taking his mechanical prowess as a fabricator/artist/inventor to a whole ‘nother level by creating interactive sculptural printing presses that not only challenge the art game but redefine it!
Closing Reception: Thursday, November 20 - 4-6:30 p.m.
