Jessica Erickson is a new addition to Austin’s art community. She originally hails from Detroit, where she was included among the city’s trailblazers. According to The Detroiter’s Christina Hill, Jessica “combines old-school expressionist painterliness with mature color choices, sophisticated mark-making and creative use of castoff materials.” Jessica received her BFA from the Herberger College of the Arts at Arizona State University. Usually categorized as abstract, most of her work displays a free-spirited, yet controlled approach. Austin Figurative Gallery’s David Ohlerking agrees: “She has a weird amount of discipline considering that she is not 80 years old.”
