Erica Rawson (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist working in sculpture, printmaking, collage, and installation. Her practice explores transformation, decay, and preservation, treating material change as both process and metaphor. She invites corrosion, fraying, and softening to reveal the tension between control and surrender, preservation and release. Originally from Pensacola, Florida, Erica moved to Denver in 2012, where an apprenticeship at Derb Design launched a career in metal fabrication and education. She has created public installations for 715 Club, American Bonded, and Gold Point, and previously served as Art Director of The Matchbox Collective. She was an Artist Fellow with the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Greenwood Village, CO, and is an upcoming Artist in Residence at PlatteForum in Denver, CO.
Erica is pursuing an MFA in Art Studio at the University of California, Davis (expected 2027). She earned her BFA in Sculpture and Printmaking from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2024.
