Figures appear and disappear. Landscapes shift. Lines repeat like ritual. Color moves with emotion. What first feels abstract slowly becomes a world.As a second-generation Cuban-American artist raised in Southern California and now rooted in Houston, Erika draws from the landscapes, memories, and emotional impressions of the places she has lived. Her paintings explore environmental fragility, displacement, imagination, and the need to pause long enough to see what is waiting beneath the surface.During our conversation, Erika will share her creative journey, her intuitive process, the role of memory and movement in her work, and how her paintings become spaces of wonder, reflection, escape, and emergence.Following the conversation, participants will create their own expressive watercolor and ink piece inspired by Erika’s process of layered mark-making, intuitive landscapes, and the creatures and stories that emerge when we slow down and let the materials lead.Your evening includes:• An intimate artist conversation• A guided watercolor and ink creative experience• Curated materials provided• Direct interaction with the artist• Connection with fellow creatives and art loversNo artistic experience is necessary.Whether you are an artist, collector, maker, or simply someone who appreciates creativity and meaningful conversation, this evening offers a unique opportunity to step inside the imagination and process of a working Houston artist.?
