pAINTER, MAKER, general do’er.
Aerica Raven’s multidisciplinary career is marked by murals, illustrations, and immersive environments designed to excite the imagination.
Drawing inspiration from fact and fiction alike, she explores human issues in mental health, subjective karma, and natural selection. Her obsessively detailed work is characterized by protagonists who reveal the splendor of the unorthodox, the grotesque, and the ordinary. Endlessly fascinated with the human experience, Aerica strives to share the beauty in even our ugliest emotions, and to always reward curiosity with depth, detail, and wonder.
Outside the studio, Aerica actively works to bring art to the public by painting for individuals, businesses, and nonprofits. She creates art throughout the United States while maintaining her studio practice in Fort Collins CO.
