Erica uses high-quality materials, including archival cotton duck canvases primed with acid-free titanium acrylic gesso and gallery-wrapped wooden frames. She paints with heavy and light body acrylics, primarily Golden and Liquitex brands, and selects brushes based on their feel rather than brand. When using watercolors, she still paints with her first Winsor & Newton paint box from over 30 years ago.
