It was 10 years ago she started her journey as a filmmaker after working for a few news stations in the Treasure Valley.
As an artist, a photographer, videographer, she is an active member and contributor to her community. Erica is also, inspired by the world that surrounds her, and the many perspectives that capture the attention of the lenses she uses to document these stories.
“This is my journey. I long to share what I see and hear with a unique perspective that creates conversations between generations. Erica has a clear goal is to achieve the most accurate account and give everyone a chance to share their perspective while researching the facts. She has been a member of the skate and snowboard community in Boise for over 20 years, and I use this passion to fuel my art.”
