Kay Erickson
I am a second generation photographer who used to watch my Mother hand color black and white photographs, and at age received my first film camera. I attended the University of Minnesota, where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Summa cum Laude, in photography, and subsequently a Master's degree.
My work has been exhibited in various cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Stockholm, Berlin, Turkey, Barcelona and Paris. My images have also been licensed worldwide for postcards, calendars, and posters.
I was awarded a Mayoral Proclamation from the Mayor of Santa Monica, California for my works as an artist in residence with the Santa Monica/Malibu School District, teaching math standards through the art of photography.
I have recently completed a project with Ojibwe Indigenous People to record and archive their legends, stories, ceremonies, healing herbs, and current issue that are affecting them today.
