Erik Bowen-Collinson

Lansdowne, Virginia

I am an event planner and art historian with experience in management, marketing, customer service, human resources, graphic design, art education, food writing, color theory, and fiber arts.

I travel through life with the mantra of "ichi go ichi e" or "one time, one meeting." Every encounter in life is a treasure and it will never recur, so enjoy every moment or at least be aware of it. I carry this with me through family, work, and my passions.

I've had a wonderful time the past decade after college working for a non-profit, in the beautiful Virginia countryside getting folks enthused about all things oenophile related while pushing forward the eat+drink local movement. My spare time is usually spent in the kitchen trying new recipes or making specialty cakes for events or out swing dancing.

Always seeking new pursuits to broaden my horizons, expand my culinary and aesthetic palates, utilize my skills while constantly learning new ones, and to make a difference in the world through art, goodwill, and food.
