Eric Weeks is a visual artist, educator, and doggy daddy who splits his time between New York City and Lancaster, PA. He is just finishing “The Great Basin! Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Desert”. It is a film, book and print project that addresses climate change, the severe drought in the Western United States, gun culture, the military’s use of the basin and range of Nevada for atomic testing, cultural stereotypes, his own personal history, and his experiences in this mostly remote area.

Eric’s childhood home was a 1950’s brick ranch house in suburban New Jersey.
His favorite birthday was his most recent one, “because in my head I am slowly accepting mortality.”
His secret talent is singing!
