Fort Wayne native Eric Rhoads is an internationally recognized artist and career entrepreneur now living in Austin. Since graduating from Homestead High School nearly forty-five years ago, his accomplishments have included all aspects of business turnarounds, radio broadcasting and programming, publishing and marketing which he balances with a love for painting, and teaching others to do the same. When WBOI's Julia Meek learned that Rhoads was in town for a show at the Castle Gallery last month, she invited him into the studio to talk about his artistic passions and how insatiable curiosity continues to shape his world.
