Underwater Paintings by Erika Craig

Underwater Paintings by California artist Erika Craig. Erika received her BA at California State University Channel Islands. Water is her favorite subject. A person’s reflection in water is a constantly changing self, a distorted image with many sides. Near the surface, the familiar blends into the unknown. Color and shape break down. Things that seem separate become entwined.

Water is the source of life, bodily and spiritual renewal. It represents both life and death, existing in the same place as a continuation. It is the place of origins, and a place inside ourselves where we go to find peace.
