June Erica Vess
June Erica Vess has been making art ever since she could hold a pencil. Growing up in the foothills of the Blueridge Mountains she was inspired by her uncle, a professional artist & illustrator, to pursue art in college and later as her full-time profession.
The common throughline in all of Erica’s work is a love of color & shape. Whether she is painting an expressive abstract or carefully rendering a more traditional bouquet, her approach is fundamentally the same: finding the combination of line & color that will bring the most joy in that specific moment.
Erica loves acrylic paints for their vibrant colors & the ability to layer endlessly, giving her immense freedom to create a minimal composition or build up a rich surface with a play of light & shadow. For plein air painting and quick color studies, she gravitates to watercolors for their immediacy in capturing a moment in time.
When she isn’t painting, Erica is an avid swing dancer and enjoys collecting photos from her dance travels to inspire her landscapes & cityscapes.
