Erika Rylands

My name is Erika R. Rylands. I am 25 years young. I was born and raised in northern Indiana and currently live in Peru, IN. Graphic Arts has been a hobby of mine for ten years. I have two technical certificates in Design Graphic Technology that I achieved in 2006 and 2007. I took a break from my art in 2009 to work toward a degree in criminal justice. I earned over half of my credits before I decided that digital art was my true passion. I began modeling in the winter of 2011 and decided to get behind the camera as well in the summer of 2013. Most of my Photoshop skills are self taught. I enjoy creating beautiful things when I\'m not busy with my responsibilities as a stay at home mother. My goal as an artist is to have my work displayed in galleries so it can be SEEN. I want to share beautiful images with the world and hope others appreciate them as much as I do.
