Erica Aitken

I was born in Belgium and grew up near Antwerp. I graduated with a BFA from the Ecole de Recherches Graphiques in Brussels. After working a few years in Brussels, I moved to the US and lived in different places until settling in Santa Cruz, California.
Art took a back seat for a few decades while the mind and the body matured. I have so much to tell today and devote most of my free time to creating art combining photography, inkjet printing, and silkscreen. The mix of these media is a metaphor for who I am, a bit of everything that built careers, relationships, loves and beliefs.
