Stacy Gay Ericson Contact and Inquiries

Stacy Gay Ericson is a western painter whose atmospheric paintings reflect the wild light and fragile majesty of forgotten corners of the American West. For some the desert is a place abstracted in its purity, but for Ericson, it is an eternally expansive, exponentially complex counterpane embroidered in impossible grace. Ericson comes from a photography background, is self-taught, and her paintings incorporate vast distances, sensuous textures, and mythic overtones. Where rocks and shadows tell a story, where sunlight floods the plain, and water becomes sky, in those places words fail and only color and light can give us a resting place.
