Artist Biography:

Erika Masterson is a Fine Art Photographer living her dream between two worlds: a lakeside cabin tucked in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and a quiet beach town on Florida's east coast. Erika and her husband Ed have four children and one granddaughter. Her children are often seen in her artistic works.

Erika's photography unveils the tension between the known and unknown, capturing moments of beauty and revelation through the blending of human and natural elements. Her images reveal a story of our human nature combined with aspects of the spiritual that stir the soul in a deeper purpose.

She received her degree in photography from Southeastern Center for Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach, FL in 1990. In 1999 she opened her own commercial portrait business and has been working for the past 20 plus years in California and Florida. In 2012 she expanded her Art, which led to many exhibits and awards. Her most recent accolades: Solo Exhibition in SoHo Gallery, New York; the Co-Jurors Choice Award by Joyce Tenneson under the theme "The Intimate Portrait." In addition, she was chosen as a Julia Margaret Cameron finalist for her series "A Message for My Daughter" and was selected for her series Sara's Sojourn.

Her quiet and soulful images have been published in numerous magazines such as Black and White Magazine 2014 and 2017, Victoria Magazine 2000 and 2016, Silvershotz Magazine, Shots Magazine, Bella Grace Magazine, In-Style Magazine and many others. Erika's images are sold around the world, and can be found on greeting cards with Palm Press and on book covers. She has also self-published four books.
