“We’re incredibly grateful for Erika’s dedication to Olympia’s arts community. From 2022 to 2024, she worked with OAA as our Installation Coordinator, bringing creativity and know-how improved our installation programs, boosted our outreach, and strengthened our grant program. Her efforts and enthusiasm helped us grow and better serve our mission. Since 2024, we have also partnered with 3rd Hand Artist Support to expand our outreach efforts. Huge thanks to Erika for everything she’s done—what a difference she made!”

“I am a professional mid-career visual artist who has worked with Erika for the last 2.5 years. Prior to finding Erika, I had reached a point where I needed additional support accomplishing my workload which consisted of large installations, studio organization, computer assistance, social media, and personal support. Erika has been instrumental handling any and all tasks required to prepare for exhibits and installations all the while keeping me on track emotionally with the diverse demands my job requires.
She is smart, resourceful, talented, trustworthy, responsible, conscientious, and kind. I can say without hesitation that her support has helped me to transform my relationship with myself as an artist in ways I had only dreamed of.”

I can’t emphasize enough my recommendation of Erika’s services!”
