"A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament"

California based artist, Erika Craig literally embodies this spirit of Art. Here is the story of an artist who chose to rise above pain to recreate a colorful world on canvas for the world to see.

Proficient in traditional media like oil paint, charcoal, colored pencils and watercolor, Erika uses "Water"  as a euphemism for all that represents Life.

Her Freudian style works spell a sensitive interconnect between the conscious and the subconscious world, Life and Death, strangely balanced by Nature.

Most of us seemingly reduce ourselves to ponder over what is visible to the eye. On the flip side, there exists a parallel world that we form a part of too. Erika's underwater paintings captures this unknown cog beautifully.

The soul searching vistas of her underwater paintings shows an astute understanding of the tangible surroundings and the inner world of aspirations that all human beings embody. She captures this "supreme chaos of universe" with clairvoyant ease.
