Erica Prasad

Erica Prasad is an Indian-American painter with a passion for adventure. She primarily works in oil paint on canvas, but also enjoys creating large murals and small gouache paintings on paper. Originally from Jefferson City, Missouri, she has traveled extensively living on the road for 5 years before calling Austin home in 2020. Travel and the people she has met along the way provide inspiration for a lot of her work. She has been painting for as long as she can remember, eventually leading her to get a BA in Studio Art from Saint Louis University and was able to transition to being a full time artist in 2020. Since then, she has maintained a daily studio practice in her space at Canopy and had her first solo show at the Cathedral ATX in September 2021. She is currently working on her second solo show with plans to exhibit 9 new original works in September 2022. She has a passion for art that moves you and makes you feel, hoping the viewer is able to place themselves inside the piece whether it be one that challenges our world view or makes it a little more beautiful.
