Erica-Lynn Huberty earned her MFA in Painting from Bennington College where she trained with Amy Sillman and Rochelle Feinstein. Her work mingles textiles and sewing arts techniques with watercolor and ink, embroidery, crochet and knitting, loom-woven grounds, mediums overlapping as if done simultaneously, and exploring the historical tradition of “women’s work.” The process is at once tedious, time-consuming and physically demanding, as well as a symbol of feminine self-worth. Sometimes, the narrative is allowed to develop organically from textures and images on existing textiles, or in segments of her own sketches, scraps of trim, lace and appliqués, crocheted strands; at other times, a set mythos is constructed from her own fictional or autobiographical narratives. She is informed by 17th-19th Century naturalist drawings, her family’s Spanish, Tunisian, Celtic and Romani needlework traditions, and by environmental and architectural factors, particularly the fragility of endangered environments.

Erica-Lynn Huberty’s art has been exhibited throughout the United States and her work is in the permanent collections of Onna House, East, Onna House, South, and the Parrish Art Museum.
