Erika’s art captures pivotal moments in the journeys of individuals overcoming challenges, often with animals as supporting characters.
I create scenes that invite the viewer into a world where the subject’s story sparks curiosity, leaving room for imagination to complete the hero’s journey.
The heroes are often unexpected, sometimes hesitant, with animals playing pivotal roles. I begin with bold, glowing underpainting to highlight their strength and beauty, especially in moments of uncertainty.

Unexpected
Each piece offers a moment of pause, a space to reflect on beauty and strength in unexpected places.
It should invite viewers not just to observe, but to engage—to step into a world where the narrative is open-ended, where imagination and introspection are encouraged.
