Temple 12" H x 12" W Oil on panel, framed A standing figure pauses in a private moment, a white cloth trailing from one hand, his face turning softly away — less a portrait than a meditation on the body as sacred ground. Rendered in soft rose and muted flesh tones, he glows against a brooding backdrop of near-black and cool grey, his edges breathing into shadow in a dreamlike tension between presence and dissolution. The title frames the work's deeper intention: the body not as subject to be studied, but as something enduring and elemental — a small and luminous reminder of what persists. Read More
Morgan 22" H x 30" W Oil on canvas, framed A nude figure reclines across a boldly patterned floor, her body rendered in warm ochre and rose — an intimate presence that invites reflection on the body as its own kind of landscape. Through broad, planar brushwork and high-chroma geometry, deep crimson and navy pressing in from below, Erickson bridges the real and the contemplative, transforming a moment of repose into something closer to ritual. At once vulnerable and transcendent, “Morgan” speaks to themes of resilience and rest, a quiet reminder that the human form carries its own deep memory. Read More
Norman Regional Vortex 36" H x 48" W Flash and acrylic on wood panel A large tree stump commands the center of this luminous, life-size composition, its broad surface painted in vivid turquoise and laden with candles, dried grasses, and small offerings — an improvised altar at the threshold between the natural and the ceremonial. Inspired by a 17th-century cosmograph, Erickson bridges the physical and the metaphysical through high-chroma color and richly textured brushwork, capturing the slow passage of time etched into bark and growth rings. What might initially read as a remnant of loss becomes, in her hands, a monument to endurance and renewal — an elegant reminder of the life that persists in every fragment of the natural world.
