About Erica

At the age of three Erica started her photographic journey with her Dad, a studio film portrait photographer. Through their adventures on the Monterey Bay coastline, camera in hand, and as a model for his studio photography, Erica witnessed the processes of photography and the creativity the vocation offered.

These experiences in front and behind the camera infused a sense of wonder and curiosity that led her to a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and photography career.

Erica has resided in Portland, Oregon since 2009. Similar to the beaches of Santa Cruz, CA that she later grew up on, the eclectic community in Portland provides unparalleled artistic inspiration, and just as importantly, a refreshing and enriching approach to living, which she does her best to exemplify in her art and way of life.

You can catch Erica surfing the Oregon coast on her days off or gardening her wild backyard.
