about the artist
Erica Vanhaute is a professional artist living and working in Memphis, Tennessee. She is primarily a watercolor and oil painter and a draftsperson. Her subject matter initiates the viewer in conversation with the abject—those things from which we derive joy, pleasure, community, and, often, shame, discomfort and confusion. Her paintings express the courage and truth in intimacy and vulnerability. Through her art, Vanhaute introspects upon inner self versus outer presentation, physicality and emotionality, and the performance of being. She holds a BFA in Painting from the University of Memphis. Her paintings are in several private collections in Tennessee and Arkansas.
