About Eric Wilder 

Full bio: http://www.ericwildergraphics.com

Eric Wilder, a member of the Kashaya Band of Pomo Indians, grew up on the Kashaya Reservation near Stewarts Point and is the grandson of Kashaya Spiritual Leader Essie Parrish. From a young age, Eric immersed himself in the cultural and ceremonial practices of his people, learning sacred songs, plant uses, and tribal traditions under the guidance of his grandparents. He served as a feather dancer, fire tender for the Roundhouse, and Big Head Dancer—a role honoring his grandmother’s doctoring spirits.

After the passing of his grandparents and the closure of the Roundhouse, Eric turned his passion toward art. Inspired by comic book illustrations, he pursued art despite setbacks, including giving up a scholarship to support his family. Years later, his passion was reignited, leading to a career in animation and graphic design.

Eric now uses his art and traditional knowledge to preserve Kashaya language and culture. He has served as Tribal Secretary, Chairman, and currently as President of the Gualala Arts Center Board. Eric founded the Native Arts Expo, showcasing Indigenous art and culture, and creates works incorporating his tribe's language. Guided by his grandmother’s teachings, he shares the message that Indigenous cultures are vibrant and thriving.
