After graduating from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill with a degree in the Classical Archaeology in 2014, Erica traveled to Florence, Italy to learn the craft of traditional drawing and oil painting at the Florence Academy of Art. After graduating in 2017, she joined the academy’s faculty as a Principal Instructor of the Six Week Intensive workshops.
When Erica is not teaching, she is painting in her private studio. Always working from life, she aspires to convey the spirit of her subjects through the textural beauty inherent in the materials she uses.
