She's Making HerStory: Erika Morrison

"Rendezvous"

Erika Morrison was born in Houston Texas, and has lived in Venezuela, Spain and Holland.
She is entirely self taught and has been painting for many years in a style which she considers unique.
An abstractionist artist.

Her paintings represent a desire for beauty in an increasingly harsh and unnaturally modern world,
where the emphasis is all too often loud and aggressive.
Having no desire to emulate this,
she uses elements of nature and architecture as a foundation 
along with expressions of color to create her own universe.

She is currently living and painting 
in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina.
A form of creative hibernation in splendid isolation.
