Erica Watson has called the Gainesville–Hall County area home on and off for the past few decades. A graduate of Chestatee High School, she earned her BFA from the University of Georgia and her MA from Piedmont University. She currently serves as the Fine Arts Department Chair and teaches visual arts at Johnson High School.
As both an artist and educator, Watson embraces versatility in her practice. While the media shift, her voice remains distinct—rooted in playful mark-making that symbolizes her lived experiences. Her woven works incorporate painted papers created in collaboration with her students and children, torn and cut into strips and often soaked in natural pigments before being layered into tactile, woven forms.
