About Ericka Gray
Ericka Gray is an artist whose work channels the beauty of nature primarily through the fluidity of oil paints in an evocative, impressionist style. Living in the coastal and marsh regions of New England, Ericka draws deeply from the landscapes surrounding her, blending them with the experiences of her world travels to craft pieces that resonate with the power and serenity of the natural world.
As a veteran storm chaser, Ericka often focuses on capturing the atmosphere of changing skies, the energy of storms, and the fleeting shapes of clouds. These themes appear in both her paintings and photography, showing her deep interest in the shifting character of the natural world.
Originally from Pennsylvania, Ericka studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. After relocating to Massachusetts in 1989, she expanded her photography skills at Boston University’s Center for Digital Imaging Arts and continued her education through private study with established artists and photographers.
For Ericka, art is a way of reinterpreting the world. She challenges herself to look beyond the surface and find new ways to express her vision, whether through layering paint or working with light in photography. Exploring light, color, and mood remains her lifelong fascination, weaving together moments of calm and turbulence into compelling visual narratives.
Her work has been exhibited at Boston College and in juried shows at the Cambridge Art Association.
