Artist Statement:
Patrice Erickson is a realist
artist based in Rochester
Hills, Michigan. A great
admirer of the paintings and
techniques of the European Old
Masters (15th-18th centuries),
Patrice is drawn to working in

methods. The technique
involves a meticulous
underpainting followed by many
successive, carefully applied
layers of paint known as
glazes, which gives the
paintings depth and richness
of color and luminosity. She
also works in sauce on paper
to create highly finished,
monochromatic drawings.

has a story to tell, so
getting the exactitude down on
canvas is not her only goal.
It is the personality and what
makes that person unique that

overlooked scenery of the
outdoors captures her
attention and inspires her
landscape work. Trees standing
in wild fields and rural
pastures amongst weeds,
wildflowers, and grasses are
elements of her subject

depict her surroundings in
Michigan as well as
Connecticut and other areas of
New...
