Eric takes safety seriously and rigorously tests every fire art feature/burner to assure the upmost safety before selling or installing the product piece. You can count on his safe measures being a F.I.R.E. Certified Inspector (find a certified inspector

Eric has been an artist from the get go starting in the first grade. He has been a computer programmer, electrician, a production efficiency analyst, graphic designer, welder, gas fitter and many more. A Jack of all trades and a master of many. Eric is still currently doing installations and service in a family run business with his sister for the fireplace industry. His sister, Lisa Eiklor (with Eiklor Flames West) actually pushed him to become an inspector. From there he decided he wanted to do more but not limit himself to one industry, instead utilizing all of his skills to the best of his ability. This is where Phoenix Fire Art comes into play.
The goal of Phoenix Fire Art is to not only create safe, practical, elegant and unique art pieces for fireplaces but to also help engineer and create unique items for other industries as well. Whether you're another small business, auto mechanic, HVAC tech, a person that crafts as a hobby or a larger commercial outfit, Phoenix Fire Art is here to help you create exactly what you need with safety in mind. The major endgame goal is to eventually be able to cater to all industry needs once we have obtained the equipment to do so. For now, Phoenix Fire Art will start out small and work its way up by gradually building its name and cementing itself into the metal fabrication and artistic industries.
