Photographic Artist Santa Fe, New Mexico
Biography
Joyce Erickson has
been an active artist for the last twenty-two years.
She attended college back east in CT. and received her B.A. from
Central CT. State University and is currently pursuing an Art
Therapy
degree from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her
main
medium she focuses on is photography. She photographs women in a
portrait setting but with a fine art flair. She also likes to
make
contradiction statements with the photography as well. She shoots
in black
and white, and prints most of her own work. She loves to be in
the
darkroom and will spend hours in there to achieve the print she
wants.
She also mastered the fine art of hand coloring which adds
another
dimension to her black and white prints.
The other medium Joyce uses
is acrylic paint when painting her clouds. She started painting
these skies
in "95" and hasn't stopped. She finds she gets
lost in the painting and lets
it speak to her instead of trying to control the outcome. She
finds that when
painting the cloud series, it becomes a spiritual process for
her. Joyce
Erickson considers herself a photographic artist mostly and
continues to
pursue the field with much excitement. She attends workshops all
over the
United States and continues to show her work. Creativity is a
passion for
her and one that she will continue to nurture one day at a time.
She does
art because she loves it and doesn't want to get caught up in the
selling
of it. When a piece is sold it gives her great pleasure to
know that someone
is treasuring the work she created and it also makes her realize
the gift she
has been given in life.
