About Erika:
My name is Erika Vassallo and I am an emerging artist that works primarily in collage. There is a special feeling that comes over me when I find a photograph or scrap of paper, current or vintage, and I know that I have to keep it. I have dozens of bins that hold a scrap of paper, sometimes for years, waiting to be matched with another piece. I try to keep my images simple, hoping that the viewer will look at the image and want to look twice or at least walk away saying “hmmm”. A reinterpretation of the original images that will move the eye in an interesting way. I have no formal art training, just a love for paper and a strong desire to learn as much as I can with the resources around me.
I have enjoyed collage with my daughters for years. Collage is community and can be done alone or with a group. I am grateful to Foothills Art Center for such a vibrant and welcoming community that allows me to learn and share my work.
