Erica Kaminsky is an illustrator from Walnut Creek, California. She lives there with her husband, two kids, and their cuddly dog. Erica is often seen sketching at her kid’s soccer games, observing the players, and their environment. She spent her formative years in Phoenix, Arizona. Erica draws inspiration from the varied landscapes and people between her home in the bay area and the deserts of Arizona. Erica received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration.

Erica’s favorite thing about her work is the depth and detail she can achieve while playing with color and texture.  She enjoys working with mixed media in oil pastels, colored pencils, and digital mediums. Erica enjoys the process of creating, starting with a blank paper and ending up with a piece of work that many people can enjoy.  Erica is influenced by her grandmother, who worked in colored pencils drawing portraits and landscapes.
