A Giveaway from Studio Eriksdotter

"I hope to inspire, make people happy with my art and strive to make the viewer aware of and believe in the vibrancy of life. It's all about celebrating life with color and
hopefully bring joy to the room and the viewer."

Swedish-born artist, Erica Eriksdotter fell in love with art and painting at an early age. Inspired by her grandfather, she sold her first paintings at age ten. Painting has been a passion for Erika throughout her entire life, though it has come to have a different meaning for her as she has grown older. Painting “is letting go of the fear and allowing myself to trust my hands and my talent. Each painting is more than just paint on a canvas, it is a story and each layer forms that story for the viewer to enjoy.” Erica’s paintings are available through her Etsy shop. Erica would like to share her talents with readers of La Dolce Vita and is offering the winner of this giveaway their choice of one of three acrylic original paintings.
