ABOUT ERICA PRINCE

Erica Prince is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores how we hold beauty, impermanence and unknown potential using botanical arrangements and her sculptural forms as frameworks for multimedia prints, drawings, ceramics, and styled photographs. Informed by caretaking and teaching as forms of soft activism and energy exchange, her work is evidence of the lushness of life and the grounding nature of loss, held in tension as a memento mori.

Prince earned a MFA from Tyler School of Art (2012) and a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art (2007). Selected solo exhibitions include “It Takes YEARS To Grow A Pineapple”, Mtn Space, Lake Worth, Florida (2026), “The Transformational Makeover Salon”, PULSE Miami Beach PROJECTS, Miami, Florida (2016), and “Dollhouse”, Vox Populi, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2015). Selected group exhibitions include “Osamu Kobayashi and Erica Prince”, Morgan Lehman Gallery, New York, New York (2018), and “Things You Can’t Unthink”, Banff Centre, Banff, Canada (2016). Prince was awarded the Hemera Foundation Tending Space Fellowship (2016, 2018) and has completed residencies at Banff Centre (2015), Vermont Studio Center (2010) and The Fabric Workshop and Museum (2006). Her work is in various private collections including The Bunker Collection.

Prince has held teaching positions at Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University, University of The Arts and Arcadia University. She has been full time Faculty in Drawing and Printmaking at Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts, a renowned public high school for the arts, in West Palm Beach, since 2019.

PURE HONEY Issue 162, April 2026

“‘The PureHoney artist of the month explains: “They begin as monoprints, where I make arrangements out of actual plants and then smash them through a printing press. They begin as ghost images of plants that have been blown apart and deconstructed.’” – Sean Piccoli

Ceramic Container featured in Architectural Digest 

“‘It sounds clichéd, but we wanted to build our dream house,’ says this mother of three, an author, about her place in Southampton. They called on local architect James Merrell Architects and New York–based #AD100designer Kelly Behun to inject the Zen interiors with color and conversation pieces. Memphis Group ceramics sit alongside contemporary vessels by Brooklyn-based Erica Prince and Manal Kara.” – Hannah Martin

I Got a Radical Makeover — for Art’s Sake

“I tell myself I won’t gasp and cover my mouth when I look in the mirror, but I do it anyway. The extra moment it takes me to recognize my own reflection is profoundly disorienting. I’m looking at a stranger.” – Ariela Gittlen

Erica Prince’s Vases Are for Way More Than Just Flowers

“We’d like to say fresh flowers in the house every week is our reality, but at least 50 percent of the time it’s purely a dream. Life gets busy and our vases sit empty. Recently, though, we realized there’s a middle ground between bouquet and bare. The eureka moment happened when we came across New York artist Erica Prince’s handcrafted Containers collection, a series of functional ceramic sculptures that bring to mind undulating pieces of coral.” – Lindsay Mather

A Bright, Evolving Apartment for Life & Growing Creative Works

“When Erica Prince and her husband Shane Jezowski were looking to move to Brooklyn from Philadelphia three years ago, they faced a bit of sticker shock. At the time, their beloved Philly place boasted lots of space and a rooftop garden, and their search for a new apartment in Brooklyn yielded rentals Erica had trouble envisioning as a place for creation — as a multidisciplinary artist, Erica’s home must also serve as a studio to create her ceramics, drawings, installations and relational projects.” – Text by Kelli Kehler, photos by Stephanie Price

Artists Show Us How to Make Outrageous Costumes for $100

“We commissioned three New York artists—Erica Prince, Mukunda Angulo, and Ziggy Mack-Johnson—to design us the Halloween costumes of their dreams. We gave them a budget of $100 to create their looks, and we asked them to document the whole process with disposable cameras. This is what they came up with.”

An Artist Is Giving Fairgoers Radical Makeovers At PULSE

“In our society, the ‘makeover’ mandate is generally uncontested—the goal is to look better, and to class up. But imagine you waltz into a beauty parlor and, veering from convention, you offer a fearless, laissez-faire ‘you know what, do whatever you want.’ And now, imagine that your first stop with your new look is an art fair.” – Molly Gottschalk

Women Who Create: Thinking Outside The Box with Multi-Disciplinary Artist Erica Prince

Crash drawing accompanying the keynote in Canadian Art Futures issue

“The condition of being alive now is infinite accessible worlds at once. Realities, and priorities, reconfigure by day, by hour, by tab. Now one of arts most vital functions is to crystallize a single world for a fixed and reproducible duration.” – Alexandra Molotkow

Office Magazine Interview

“For Prince, life and art are in no way separate spheres of existence. Rather, these two have fused together so effortlessly to form a single, gleaming entity.” -Kennedy Fairfax

Reviews of Natalie Prass’ Short Court Style Music Video directed by Natalie Prass and Erica Prince

Natalie Prass’ Why Don’t You Believe in Me Video directed by Erica Prince and Tiona McClodden

“Everyone's been there before — that dark part of the brain where fear and doubt and a thousand unanswered questions reside, doing their dirty work to sabotage every attempt at happiness. In her latest video, for the song "Why Don't You Believe In Me?," singer Natalie Prass finds herself trapped deep inside her own head, battling a broken heart and the uncertainty it's left in its wake.” – Robin Hilton
