bio

As a third-generation artist, Erika grew up assuming everything can be viewed for its aesthetic merit. Her work has explored conflict: between humans and the environment, between her pets, or between history and individuals. Erika’s current subject matter centers on books, belonging, and censorship.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA and now based in Half Moon Bay, CA, Erika holds a degree in Fine Art from Yale University and an MBA from Santa Clara University. She regularly shows throughout the Bay area, including Madrone Arts in Pescadero, Mirada Art on Main in Half Moon Bay, and 731 Designs in Pacifica.
