Oil and gold leafing on canvas
12″ x 12″

Erica Steiner is a mix media artist that works with oil and gold leaf foiling. Her work delves in the innate impulse of humanity that deals with repetition and ornamentation. She uses repetition and ornamentation to indicate man’s impulse to material excess. Material excess is man’s language to express and identify who they are and how they integrate in society. Erica’s insight into man’s ability to make decorative art  is profoundly influenced by historic folk and conventional art making. The nuances that makes repetition interesting is what strikes Erica to make her delightful decorative artwork.
