Erica Haupert

I have a profound respect for artistic transcendence through mythology. My art is representative of many different religious symbols, mostly gods and images considered to be sacred. Inspired by books, my personal life, spiritual symbols and their dimensionality, and histories, I paint the emotions they invoke in me. I am heavily influenced by philosophy, Architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright, sacred geometry, Egyptian history, Hinduism, and Buddhist images.

My style is perfectly imperfect, wabi sabi. Perfection is a fleeting goal and for me and painting has been a journey into acceptance of myself imperfect, as is. As a lover of architecture, balance and polarity, sacred geometry speaks to my soul. History and world religions are interwoven themes throughout all of these pieces.

I have a BA in Interpersonal Communication and Business with a 2 yr emphasis in Architecture. I also completed my first year of my Masters in Spiritual Psychology from USM in California. My art education began as a small child with my long time art teacher and technique mentor. I have been influenced by all of my other art teachers throughout the years as well, especially in college architecture free hand perspective.
