Welcome!
I'm Erin Fickert-Rowland, and I would love to share my art with you!
My Story
I create art inspired by animation and comics for people who love pop culture. I’m an 80’s kid who grew up on Saturday morning cartoons, MTV, and comic books. My current art influences are the animated work of Japanese Anime studios from 1980-present, as well as Indie comic artists and Japanese mangaka. I am also inspired by the fine art painting movements of Cubism, Modernism, Expressionism, and Pop Art. I work in both traditional and digital mediums including ink, watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, marker, Photoshop, and Clip Studio Paint.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art Painting and have studied a wide variety of art-making over the last 20+ years. Throughout my career, I have worked with galleries, publishers, charitable organizations, artist organizations, resort destinations, music venues, and individual collectors. My current body of work is an original collection of fan artwork created in both traditional and digital mediums that I exhibit in Artist Alley at select Anime and Comic Conventions. I am passionately dedicated to the study of art, the value of handmade craftsmanship, and sharing the journey of creative work with others.
