Erika Lizée was born in Chicago, Illinois, but was raised in a tiny town in Northern Wisconsin. Much of her childhood was spent exploring the woods, swimming the lakes and climbing the snowdrifts of this serene part of the country. Her upbringing fostered a strong connection to spirit and the natural world, which remains an important aspect of Lizée’s life and artwork.

Ms. Lizée is an installation artist that creates site-specific illusions with acrylic paint. Most recently, she has created works within the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, Mesa, AZ; the Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA; Angels Gate Cultural Center, San Pedro, CA; Gallery 825, West Hollywood, CA; Launch LA, Los Angeles, CA and the International Terminal at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Her work has been featured in Juxtapoz, Beautiful/Decay, HiFructose, The Huffington Post and Beautiful Bizarre magazines.

Erika Lizée earned a BFA in Painting from UNC Asheville, and her MFA in Painting from CSU Northridge. She serves as the Visual Arts Department Chair at Moorpark College, as well as the Director of the Moorpark College Art Gallery. She lives and works in the greater Los Angeles area.
