The Beginning

This is the beginning of what I hope to be a fulfilling process of my senior thesis. I am thrilled to finally get to do work that really resonates with me, and allows me to be as creative and in control as I can be. I have been waiting for this opportunity for three years now and am so excited to embark on the journey. I will be starting a painting this week and will be posting updates, both visual and writing material within the next few days. Well... Here we go!!

Also, for my first inspiration name drop, I want to say that this artist, Liz Wolfe, really fascinates me. I love her use of color in her photography, along with the whimsical aspect of her subject matter. Some of the work is a bit bizarre and at some points scary, but it really intrigues me for some reason. The way in which she combines materials, or elements that would otherwise never be put together is what I think draws my attention. I really like her use of octopus with other materials. The texture and color is just amazing!!

  1. Erica,
    I can see why you like this artist - the density and the smoothness of the surface and the sensuousness of it. I have looked at your painting in the hallway and find the dark luminosity very appealing. I look forward to seeing what happens. Please post some more past work if you have it.
