Erica Rochelle is a Brooklyn based painter. Born and raised in a small rural community on the Pacific Northwest coast, Rochelle moved to New York to study painting at the New York Academy of Art. She received her MFA in 2019. Her recent work grew out of a search for familiarity and serendipity in the harsh urban landscape. Recent group exhibitions include Encounters I (2019), Cristina Grajales Gallery; Summer Exhibition 2019, New York Academy of Art, New York; and Little But Fierce (2018), ChaShaMa, New York.
