Elk Rider Trading Post

Back to previous page  Elk Rider Traders Row Derrick Paul Egger was born in Jamestown, New York, and grew up in historical Warren, Pennsylvania. Inspired by nature, the Alleghany National Forest is where he spends a lot of time hunting and fishing, and appreciating all that the outdoors has to offer. He currently resides in Warren with his wife and two children to this day, but would love to move to Colorado where his wife is from. He has a fondness for the "mountain man" way of life. Derrick has been involved with art his whole life! His Parents were both artists and encouraged him in art as early as nine months of age by giving him a drawing tablet and a marker and letting him scribble his heart out! As he grew up, it became a favorite pass-time and would sometimes prefer to draw then go outside and play. At age twelve Derrick began selling his drawings through a baseball card shop for $10.00. The demand for his work grew, and so did his prices. Many have asked Derrick where it is he went to school for art, and he would tell you that he never has which many would then look shocked! If he could do it over again, he most likely would have gone to art school, but as it stands he most likely won't. He has a family and a passion for art! That much is for sure. He has not studied under any particular artist, but has many that he has looked to for inspiration If you can't already tell, Derrick has been inspired to a great deal through the old west. Not the gun fighting, cowboy and Indian old west mind you, rather the west before it was won. The mountain man making his way through the rough terrain with only the buck skins on his back, a dream, and a horse to take him there. Of late it has been his goal and approach to offer the viewer of his work something different. He has developed a skill for what is known as wood burning, and to the professional pyrography. He would tell you he has used almost everything that leaves a trail, but mostly oils, pencil, pen, pencil and pen combined, pastels, charcoal, acrylics, airbrush, and crayon. Derrick's favorite subject is history, and in particular Native American history, but generally he has always enjoyed the past. It could be said that much of today is simply a reflection of the past. From fashion to fad, seems that "new" today is only a carbon copy. He is fascinated with a time when ingenuity and pure guts were a man's driving force. Most of Derrick's work is displayed in private homes, but there is a card shop on Conewango Avenue in Warren where one of his pieces still hangs. Derrick would like to eventually market his work through gift shops that deal with country living, western, Native American, and historical themes.
