About The Artist


Philadelphia, PA native Erika Richards is a professional illustrator – a skilled artist who has mastered the technique of blending watercolor and Prismacolor pencils.  Erika began creating art at the tender age of three. 

A fascination with the female figure and fairy tales has developed into Erika creating fantasy art. Erika draws upon fantasy, history and the human image to make visual art that elaborates on imagination.  

Erika is a graduate of the Moore College of Art and Design located in Philadelphia, PA with a BFA in Illustration. Her skills in watercolor has earned her several accolades. She is the recipient of the Philadelphia Watercolor Society Award 2017, 2nd place award for “Best Illustrator” at the 34th Annual Fall for the Arts Festival Chestnut Hill, PA 2018 and 1st place artist award for the 11th Annual Gloucester City Cultural Arts and Heritage Society 2019.

Erika remains a resident of Philadelphia, PA. In her spare time Erika enjoys playing with her ‘crazy cat’ Jazz and watching reruns of the sitcom Frasier.
