Erica Bodwell

ARTIST STATEMENT

Erica Bodwell (b. 1965) is a self-taught artist and painter working in oil and watercolor for close to ten years. Using a limited palette of deeply saturated colors, her work focuses on "the close view" of subjects, including the gazes of girls and women she's known and been throughout her life, and the natural world around her. Erica's work also engages abstraction and especially the rhythm and precision of lines and planes painted over layered and scraped supports. Her work often places the viewer in its midst, whether at eye-level with wildflowers in a meadow or face-to-face with the subject's gaze. Erica's work asks, Are we present? Are we paying attention now?
