born
in the really exciting town of lynchburg, va, erica flew the coop to
live in the (slightly more exciting) city of richmond where she earned
her bfa in painting & printmaking from virginia commonwealth university.
much
to the amazement of both her parents and herself, she has indeed put
that degree to actual use, earning her living entirely with her paintbrush.
(though, occasionally the things she must paint with said brush are
urns and flowers and droopy dogs.)
(she
would also like everyone to know that her hand doesn't really look like
that most of the time.)
