About The Artist Erika L. Forsythe [ELF] is a self-taught photographer, delighted by crafting images since returning from field trips with her suburban Philadelphia high school’s photography club and developing film in the darkroom by hand. After a long stint of rigorous daily training for touring on the national tennis circuit, she spent many years employing her college business degree to produce marketing communications in the corporate and university realms. Next, always an artist at heart, when life handed her a 23-acre farm, she grew raspberries, studied how to become a jam artisan, created 14 certified original flavors and became a one-woman processing plant. Now, this spirited butterfly focuses on her quest to use her digital camera to make photos that become your Moment of Zen. Erika’s spontaneous, unembellished images are a reflection of the visceral vibration that attracted her to stop and contemplate as she was exploring near or far. Both the ELF Moments of ZEN visual meditation series and the travel scenes convey her personal belief in the power and peace that can be found in being still, quietly reflecting. Erika currently searches for magical scenes and subjects to photograph from her home base in Maryland, USA. Visit her ELF Moments of ZEN website Follow her journey on Instagram.
