Artist, Erica Fareio. Grand Canyon and Southwest Art. Home Page.

Welcome to Erica's virtual gallery! Erica's paintings are inspired by the endless magic of Grand Canyon, Arizona's deserts and the surrounding Colorado Plateau. Having lived in Arizona for twenty years, she has developed an intimate connection to the natural world. Erica expresses these connections through her art and through her work as a Grand Canyon river guide. She has been a professional river guide since 1997.

Erica is fairly new to the public art world, but she has been an artist all her life. She has been a student of art since childhood and continued her art education through college. Her higher education also led her into fields of graphic design, music, ethnobotany, geology and wilderness medicine.

With the support of her life partner, family and the river guiding community, Erica has decided to share her art with the world. When not on the river, Erica rests, paints and plays in Tucson, Arizona. For more information on Erica's ideas and inspiration, visit the "artist's statement" page.
