Ericka Wolf

Painter

Seattle, Washington

Ericka is inspired by color field painters and expressions that are left intentionally uncomplicated. No reductive but reflective, using color as a luminous expression rather than illustration. Ericka invites the viewer to enter the painting, slow down, unclench and access the soft, blurry consciousness of waking up. She feels the sky is the perfect metaphor for life’s expansiveness; whether open and light or dark and ominous. It is ultimately beautiful in its vibrancy, duality and impermanence. Or as Pema Chodron wrote “You are the sky. Everything else-it’s just the weather.”
