Erika Karl is a fine artist, illustrator, and designer, from Brooklyn, NY now operating from her studio in Cleveland, Ohio. She often finds the space between human society and natural occurrences as a source for inspiration. Using this intersection, she seeks to inspire self-reflection and ignite curiosity about the mysteries of life and death.

As part of her process, Erika enjoys the alchemy of taking something from nature and making it useful to create art. Her inks range from earthy muted tones of black walnuts to vibrant colors from berries and plant matter. Her recent work features ink-wash paintings preserved through archival printing, a method chosen to maintain the ephemeral beauty of natural inks. These prints encapsulate the transient nature of her art, highlighting themes of impermanence and renewal.

Today, she has an on-going series, The Oracle Project, which will eventually become an oracle deck. You can read more about this project here. Additionally, Erika ventures into the world of crafts with "Erika's Attic", a side-project that merges fine art with crafting to encourage creativity and dismantle crafting stigmas. Through offering downloadable crafting materials, she invites her audience to explore their artistic potential.
