Erica Johnson was born in Ohio and raised
in the beautiful town of Chagrin Falls. Her
love of art was apparent at an early age. She
was encouraged and instructed by her mother,
Audrey, an artist who specialized in
woodburning.
During her high school years, Erica was
introduced to a wide range of mediums and
crafts. Erica enjoyed working with ceramics,
silversmithing, enameling, print making, drawing
and painting. The school's extensive art
department offered exposure to an exciting world of
limitless possibilities. In 1981, Erica was
awarded the Gold Key of Excellence at the
Governor's Art Exhibit for a necklace she designed
and made.
Moving to the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1981,
Erica continued to expand her interest in the
arts. She opened Cay Design Art and Framing,
a Chincoteague gallery representing many local
artists and featuring her mother Audrey "Dolly"
Johnson.
Now concentrating on framing, Erica hopes
to find more time to pursue painting. Her
style ranges from traditional wildlife to the
abstract of surrealism.
