Mostly these days, artist, Erika Rier is drawing, doing some gouache work and loving her Moleskine notebook. Erika is a self-trained artist that was going to school for a psychology major; although never finished. She always considered herself a writer and not an artist until recently, though she's been drawing and painting since she was a teenager. Erika states she loves history and is often inspired by the small, personal narratives one finds in history which can be clearly shown throughout her artwork. Erika Rier was born in Maine, lived in Vermont and Connecticut but moved to NYC for love and is currently living in Brooklyn with her husband, daughter and 3 cats.
