About Erica
Every encounter and experience I’ve had is reflected through my art & design across all mediums.
Exposure to various walks of life throughout my life in New York and teaching in a variety of districts has expanded my empathy and pursuit of equity in all aspects of life. Languages have always been around me, their different sounds enveloping me into new and exciting worlds. My experience teaching languages has sharpened my copy-writing ability to convey intended meaning alongside visuals by utilizing nuances of language.
“It is my belief that art does not exist on its own. It's not a product, but a relationship. Something that is sustained through interaction. Interaction of the artist with their own experience of the world and how they translate that via medium of choice. And the interaction of the viewer with the product or environment the artist creates. Art cannot exist without the artist. Just as it cannot exist without the viewer.” Erica J Patè © 2015
