Our Story
The mundane noise of life mutes your creativity. We provide the backdrop you need to spark your unique vision and voice so you can craft beautiful stories every day.
Our story could sound a lot like yours. Art was something we did on the side due to the craziness of life. I had just been laid off from a job in real estate I held for 12 years. Our kids were both about to start school and we were trying to figure out what we could do next. We started making and selling furniture out of our tiny 1-car condo garage and ended up custom making surfaces for a photographer. What started as a side hustle quickly became our full time gig. The day we realized I could paint and create beautiful backdrops all day, and support my family doing so, I felt a fire light inside me and there was no going back!
Erickson Surfaces exists to equip other artists to craft beautiful stories. The people in our community are dynamic, they are creative and resourceful, they help others, they make us hungry, they hustle hard. This journey hasn't been without trials and we've learned a lot of hard lessons, but we've also seen the beauty in this community and how we come together. We love seeing our art and our story become a part of your art and your story.
MEET THE TEAM
Ginny Erickson
Founder / Lead Artist
Hey friends, I’m Ginny and I started @EricksonSurfaces out of my tiny 1-car garage back in 2013 after being laid off from a job in real estate. After finding a small audience for my surfaces, my husband encouraged me to really go for it, and I busted my butt and quickly turned my side hustle into my full time gig. The past 11 years making surfaces has brought so much joy into my life. I've had the privilege of working with a handful of incredibly talented teammates of the years, like Lilia Gonzalez, Anne Lange, Ramon Gomez-Rodriquez and Landon Rose and I get to work with amazingly talented clients, and I get to paint every day. For work. Like what?!
