About me:
My name is Erica Willey and I have just recently graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design. For 25 years now I’ve lived
in the same house in a little place called Jamestown, located in Michigan.
My favorite author is Dan Simmons, I enjoy hiking and swimming, and I love to travel. I live a pretty simple life, but now that
I’m a graduate I’m getting very excited of the possibilities waiting to happen.
As of now my goal this year is move to California, create new experiences, and build up my dream career. It’ll be hard work, but
I am more than ready for the challenge.

What’s the purpose of what your trying to create?
Now every artist is always asked what the purpose was
behind their piece of art, and there will always be different
answers. I suppose the purpose behind every painting
I imagine is exactly that; to let the mind imagine, to let
those gears take over and see what a little imagination can
come up with. In a way it’s a sense of freedom to let the
brain wonder off track for awhile.
The end results may be shocking, but that’s the joy of it
all. As to what my artwork is actually about, though, well
that’s a good question. Every painting tells a different
a story, so no piece of work is the same. But if I had to
say, overall, what my work is about, is it’s about beauty.
Whether that beauty is found in the craftsmanship of the
artwork, or the meaning behind it. I leave those decisions
up to the viewer. After all, isn’t art created to engage
one’s mind and expand the imagination?
