Pat Erickson grew up in Northern California. Since childhood her interests were equally divided between wildlife biology and art. She entered college as a zoology major, but after a couple years the pull of her creative side led her to a Bachelors in Fine Art. She left California for Colorado in 1989 and started concentrating on both wildlife and southwestern subjects for her pieces. In 2002 she moved to Pagosa Springs, Colorado and started to paint horses for the first time and they were a great success. In fall of 2006 Erickson re-located to the Pacific Northwest. She is known for her detailed portrayal of both horses and other wildlife in both watercolor and Prisma Color pencil. Artist's Statement: As someone who has a great love of animals, painting or drawing them was a natural choice for me. I strive to portray something of the animal's spirit in my pieces and make them seem as individual personalities.
