Erica Hawkes is a Canadian landscape artist passionate about creating fine art from gorgeous captured moments in nature. She loves everything about the creation process, from taking photographs for future works to sketching new ideas and laying paint onto a canvas. Erica's work is carried in several fantastic galleries across the country, and her work can be best understood through the confluence of two styles.
Nouveau 7
This style is inspired by various works of The Seven, a renowned group of Canadian artists, coupled with the beautiful flowing lines of the Art Nouveau movement at the turn of the 19th century. She discovered mixing elements borrowed from those who have inspired her the most creates something entirely new.
Born and raised in beautiful BC, she studied at the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver before returning home to Vancouver to finish her degree in design. She has worked with countless mediums throughout the years, including graphite, acrylic, watercolor, india Ink, and oil. I've had the privilege to work as an illustrator, portrait artist, teacher and photographer, but my truest love is painting beautiful landscapes that bring a little joy to every home they find themselves in.
