Erica Podwoiski: Coming of Age in an Era of Celebrity Worship

Michigan native, Erica Podwoiski, is a fine arts graduate of the Columbus College of Art & Design where she majored in drawing, painting, and printmaking, with a minor in writing. She served as teaching assisting at the college's Saturday Morning Art Class program for two years and received an Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts from The Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio.

This exhibit features figurative paintings and mixed media with a narrative about female identity and coming of age in an era of celebrity worship.

Her first solo exhibition was a visual case study of women and girls on MySpace and Facebook titled pc4pc <333333. The exhibit was an exploration of boundaries, notions of privacy and self, female stereotypes and sexuality in the millennial age.

Podwoiski was honored as Valedictorian of her class and received the Outstanding Senior in Fine Arts Award. Her work has been featured on the cover of Columbus's Alive Magazine and was shown at the historic Belle Isle Conservatory in Detroit.
