Eric Ax-Täckström, born in Eskilstuna, caught intrest in art, photography and film at an early age. In the 1940s he was employed by the advertising department of Höganäsbolaget. Around the same time he settled down in Mölled, where he design and built his own home, that also included a cinema.
Along with his wife, Eric operated a craft shop in Mölle, where he also sold his paintings and self-produced postcards with his own motives. But above all he was an artist and loved painted nature and beautiful scenery in oil.
