Artist, Erica Fareio. Grand Canyon and Southwest Art. Home Page.

Welcome to Erica's virtual gallery! Erica's paintings are an expression of the endless magic of Grand Canyon, and the surrounding Colorado Plateau. Having lived in Arizona for over twenty years, she has developed an intimate connection to the natural world and it's incredible landscapes. Erica shares these connections through her art. Much of her inspiration comes from time spent living and working in Grand Canyon. She has been a professional river guide for Arizona River Runners since 1997.

Erica is fairly new to the public art world, but she has been an artist all her life. She has been a student of art since childhood and continued her art education through college. Her higher education also led her into fields of graphic design, music, ethnobotany, geology and wilderness medicine.

With the support of her family, friends and the river guiding community, Erica has decided to share her art with the world. When not on the river, or exploring other amazing places, Erica rests, paints and plays in Flagstaff, Arizona.
