Editor’s Note: We met Erica Nazzaro at an art exhibition this fall. Her mixed media watercolor paintings of scenes in the forest and by the water instantly grabbed us because of the way the colors popped and played with each other. We needed to see more.
If you’d like to see more, Erica has two exhibits opening this week and two more next month:
November 7th and 8th at Roslindale Open Studios, 141 Aldrich St. in Roslindale, MA
November 6th-29th in the “Abstracted” exhibition at Uforge Gallery, 767 Centre St. in Jamaica Plain, MA with an opening night reception at 6pm November 6th.
December 4th from 6:00-10:00PM: ART 100 BOSTON at Piano Craft Gallery, 793 Tremont St, Boston

In her own words: “My process is to go into a meditative space as I create. I try to be a vessel of connection from my environment to the paper integrating myself by weaving in my own feelings as I am painting.”
“Purple”
“Gem”
“When I feel fully immersed by the energy of the place I am painting…it clicks. I feel that I grasp the challenge, by being spontaneous, and curious, I use the accidents as opportunities. I take risks while exploring and creating.”
“Ponkapoag Horizon”
“Shadowplay”
“My work is capturing a moment in time that is expressed through colors, lines, and textures. I strive to express the feeling more than the realistic image of what I see.”
“Sydney at Night”
“Jamaica Pond”
“Birch in Snow”
