Modern applications have been an absolute revolution in photography, opening the opportunity for all of us to be able to create art from a mobile device. Nature and family have been her main sources of inspiration and ideations. Erika emphasizes “… in general my style does not follow a particular format or function. I use the applications that come to mind at the time and experiment repeatedly until I achieve a particular view of the art piece. Interestingly, my method came from experimenting with apps when my iPhone adventure began. At the same time, as my experimentation evolved so did my technique and ability to transform and integrated new art concepts and blends”.
