Erica's creative roots extend back to her childhood when she would draw with her Dad for hours on end & took an immediate liking to Art.  She took classes as a very young girl which fanned her creative flame.  High school is when Art took a front seat & stood out as a passion and true talent.   She's now been creating Art at a professional level for over 20 years.  She's studied & built her portfolio through a variety of academia, including Saddleback Junior College, Bilmes Private Commercial Illustration School in Oregon & lastly world renowned LCAD Laguna College of Art and Design in Laguna Beach, Ca.  While her primary focus was Fine Art she expanded with secondary studies in Animation, Ilustration and Graphic Design.

Erica's photorealistic style is exemplified in landscapes, portraits & murals!  However she follows many creative paths of expression.   Works in several mediums including Oils, Acrylics, Gouache, Spray Paints, Posca Paint Pens, Graphite, Charcoal & more!  Even digital designs and artwork.  She creates pieces on canvas, paper, wood, surfboards, large walls, pretty much any workable surface or organic material that captures her inspiration.
