Welcome and thank you for visiting my creative space.

erica alexia

She/Her/Ella-- born and raised on Takelma Land in the Rogue Valley of Oregon. Her indigenous roots are in the Wixaritari, Naayeri, Tepehuan, and the Chichimeca lands, also known as Nayarit & Zacatecas, Mexico.

“In my community, I use visual art and storytelling as a way to build a sense of collective memory and connection. Being surrounded by the BIPOC community has allowed for so much personal healing in my life. With the help of those around me, I have begun to see my culture without looking through the lens of the colonizer. I see our culture for what it is and what it means to me, personally. I use my art to express the way I feel, to allow space for those who need it, and to imagine a better world.”
