"Erica is an inspiring artist educator. Her workshops are always so original and engage with concepts in an innovative way. Students love her and her creative and fun lessons! For the last eight years I have worked with her delivering learning arts events in Museums. Working with Erica is a great pleasure, her enthusiasm and dedication are boundless and it shows in the positive affect she has on students and the brilliant work they make."

I would recommend her to anybody looking for a creative, efficient and hardworking practitioner. She can turn her hand to anything and her endless ideas, enthusiasm and beautiful final products are second to none. She is an absolute pleasure to work with”

Claire Lozada

"Erica is a very versatile and talented artist. Each time she comes to school she has new ideas and materials.
All the workshops are delivered in an interesting and exciting way, tailored to suit the needs and abilities of the children. Erica has a very calm and friendly disposition to which the students respond very well. Both children and staff have learnt so many creative techniques from her and have had great fun producing fantastic artwork at her workshops."
Sarah Kinsella
Young Members Manager
British Museum
"Erica's professional and fun attitude was ideal for our Young Friends sleepovers and Adult Members evenings. The range of craft workshops were tailored around the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, and were always engaging and interactive for all ages. From Shakespearean ruffs and beards to Christmas bird decorations, our museum visitors young and old always left Erica's workshops with big smiles and great art pieces!"
Jane Dove
Senior Occupational Therapist
Teddington Memorial Hospital
I want to thank Erica for the groups she has held here at Teddington Memorial Hospital. The occupational therapists have given such positive feedback about the high level of patient engagement and enjoyment and how the patients with visual and other sensory impairments have particularly benefitted from it. Her expertise and ability to work with this challenging cohort of patients has been very much appreciated here.
And while we're at it, let's hear from a few of her workshop participants!
