Erika Rier

My work is particularly focused on portraying the inner life of womxn as well as changing our expectations of women’s roles as a subject within art. It is my mission to create art depicting women engaged with their world and shaping their reality, rather than depicting passive women shaped by the male gaze. It is important to me that when a women & femme people looks at my work, they see their own struggles and realities and dreams reflected back at them and that they see the beauty we each possess is our ability to persist no matter the obstacles.
