I always have a wonderful time when visiting and shopping in his gallery with price ranges for the first time investor to the discriminating collector of fine art... yes he is all that I say he is and a bag of chips! What's more Mr Bergstrom is the artist for the new or old generation and for this millennium... so make sure and bring the children along!... His collections run the gamut from originals, scenic, places traveled including Italy, Thailand and more, portraits, and contemporary with his "mark" most definitely stamped on all of his work... passion and romanticism is exuded in all of his work... You will find the perfect gift for yourself, your friends, family, corporations, hotels, restaurants, and for your home... Paintings that all will love forever and always... How very special to find such talent, wrapped into such an awesome person and experience this 30+ year veteran artist possesses right here in my hometown! Looking forward to seeing his "Latest Works" and "signing up" for one of his Art Classes! It is an honor to write my thoughts and review this wonderful Artist, giving him the kudos and recognition he deserves! I not only submit my vote for all who are interested in fine art to visit this icon, I would also tell those who don't "stop in" you are missing Portland's finest... Sincerely, Collector

Prices are a little more but the work is beautiful and unique and made with love and quality. The time that goes into this is clearly a labor of love. I always make it a point to stop in if the store is open and visit and have recommended this place to all my rum punch drinking friends.

I want to thank Eric for a family treasure we will love forever. The colors and feel of the painting change as the light changes just like Wilapa does.
