Hi, I’m Eric Nopanen — a painter, designer, and obsessive builder of things. Whether I’m elbow-deep in oil paints or buried in code, I like making stuff that lasts.

I split my time between freelance web development, studio work, and building Ground & Gesso Co., where I make premium painting panels by hand and write deep dives into oil painting materials. If I’m not coding a custom website, I’m probably testing linen glue or figuring out how to keep birchwood from warping in Florida humidity.

This site is my personal hub. I post thoughts, experiments, and works in progress here — sometimes art, sometimes code, sometimes things that land in between.

Thanks for visiting.
