Erica Harris currently lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. where she teaches children. She also teaches internationally and has facilitated projects in India, Guatemala, Macendonia, Brazil, El Salvador and Southeast Asia. She draws inspiration from the children she teaches and the places that she travels. Harris likes to tell a story with her art and focuses mainly on collages and painting. With regard to the materials she uses in her collages, she has this to say: "Combining discarded materials to make these narratives, such as a schoolgirl with a dress quilted from teabags, or a nest of old road maps, is like creating a shrine, or providing a sanctuary for people, places and objects that need mending."
