Erica Eriksdotter was born and raised in Sweden and sold her first painting at the age of 10. She remember getting her first easel at seven and finishing watercolor landscapes while on the phone with her girlfriends in her teens. "Painting has always been a part of my life. There was never a start or a beginning; it has just always been there." Read more...

TESTIMONIALS

"The painting is amazing and makes a perfect first anniversary gift.  My wife was completely surprised to see her bouquet on canvas!  She loves the detail of the flowers and the vibrant background which make this piece truly unique.  Erica does phenomenal work and is a pleasure to work with."

"I cannot thank you enough, I love it more than words can say. This beautiful painting transports me back to my wedding day, when I held those fragrant flowers in my hand before walking down the aisle. More than a simple photo ever could, this painting will forever capture that precious moment for me. In your painting, I swear the bouquet is even more beautiful than I remember."
- Amanda from Bear, Delaware.

"It's gorgeous! You are an amazing artist. Ordering the painting from Sweden was supereasy and though I've only seen it through the detailed photos you sent me, I'm in love! I look at the photos at least twice a day and I can't wait for it to arrive so I can hang it on my wall and look at it all day long!
- Mirja from Stockholm, Sweden.

"We are both absolutely blown away every time we look at the painting. It looks exactly like her bouquet. The use of the gray/blue background really makes all the colors of the flowers pop. They are so crisp. You really nailed it and we are so happy we will have this to display in our home for years and years!"
- Scott from Denver, Colorado.

Arts in the Park: wrap up

DateThursday, May 6, 2010

What an amazing weekend! Oh boy, did Richmond deliver!  First, a quick 'thank you' to Ada-Marie over at Spark! and Christine over at Chromicling all the days of our lives.. for both promoting my participation in the Arts in the Park last week. And to my sister who bought me a wonderful lavender flower to decorate the booth and chocolate for my customers. Thanks for the support ladies!

I could not believe the 22 long rows of white tents in the Byrd Park for the arts and craft show. Wow. There were artists from all over the US and even some from Canada. Unbelievable. We had amazing neighbors, Peggy Cook from Seattle, Wash., Kris Taylor from Richmond, Va,. and Mary Lou Hess from Louisville, Ky. It really makes a difference when you have great company!

Men and women of all ages visited my booth and it was so wonderful to see so many people engaged in my art. The response was truly amazing!

I kept thanking Casey over and over. Setting up and taking things down can be draining and having Casey there is so helpful. He even offered one of my customers to help her hang my painting - which he did! That's service! If you visit my booth you may see him stealing my chocolate or filling in while I'm running around checking out the other artists. Usually, I try to stay put as I notice most people like to meet the actual painter. He also shot these amazing photos and played around making a promo video for me. How fun!

Zack and Courtney, thanks for hosting us for the weekend in your wonderful home and introduced us to amazing eateries! Thanks Kenneth, DD and Jayson and Bri of Itty Bitty Press for visiting me in the 95 degree heat! And to all of you who stopped by my booth, complimented my art or stationery, or bought a painting or note cards - a huge thank you! I really had a wonderful time and I hope to see you next year!
