About

Erica Hummer is a self taught visual artist from State College, PA. Growing up, she was always interested in the arts and enjoyed sketching and doodling. After graduating from Penn State with a degree in Human Development and Family studies, she moved to New York City to start nannying for family while she waited for a job to open up at Tulane, where she did her internship. It didn’t take long for Erica to fall in love with the hustle and grind of the city and soon the baby’s nap hours became her art time. Sketches and doodles on her iPad evolved into stippling on paper. 

After years of sharing bits of her process and finished works on social media, she gained the attention of one of the most famous tattoo shops in the world. She learned how to tattoo at that shop but when the city became too expensive it was time for her to move back to her hometown. 

Erica creates original pieces of artwork using thousands of tiny ink dots to create a larger image. She recently started using circles of comic book paper on large canvases to create vibrant, large scale images. Her first showing with this style will be The Atlanta Comic Con at the end of July.

Her hopes and dreams are to continue to create original pieces and commissions, encourage others to follow their passions and dreams and use art as a way to process the world and heal.
