She also studied at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and several other art schools. Since moving back to Louisiana in 2009, Erica has drawn much of her inspiration directly from her day-to-day life in southern Louisiana: lush subtropical landscapes, torrential summer rains, thick humid air and the decay it brings, the swamp. Erica currently sells her paintings through Gallery Orange located in New Orleans’s French Quarter. She has shown her work in many places around New Orleans including The Front and the Contemporary Arts Center.
