An Oregon native and Sisters resident, Erika considers it a true privilege to call Sisters home – a community as vibrant, warm, and welcoming as the art it inspires. Erika has a gift for bringing warmth and joy to those around her, and that same tender spirit lives in every piece she creates.

Erika lived in Seattle for 25 years raising a family and creating art. In those years, her work was featured and sold in over a dozen shows, and has been exhibited throughout Seattle and the Puget Sound. Her ability to capture nature, emotions and imagination has been well received for being accessible, fun and enlightening.

Erika completed her degree from Pacific Lutheran University while attending Lorenzo di Medici in Florence, Italy, and creating art over four years in Copenhagen, Denmark. She completed her studies in Fiber Arts at the University of Washington.

Erika fuses her knowledge of painting, fabric and silk screening to expertly create wall hangings and paintings. Her latest work blends her rigorous classic art training with her desire to create lightness and whimsy for those who experience them.

Erika’s current show, at The Hub in Sisters runs through June 30th, and was born from the heart of community itself – inspired by the stars that blanket the Sisters sky, the colors that dance across the high desert landscape, and the flowers that bloom boldly in this beloved town. Erika hopes you find enjoyment, peace, and a little joy in every piece.
