Life
Lord was raised traveling between her father's village in Nenana, Alaska and her mother's home community in Michigan. Her personal experience perpetually moving between various geographic places inspires her work's interest in themes of displacement, cultural identity and cultural limbo.
She received a B.A. in liberal and studio arts from Carleton College in 2001 and completed her MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2006.
Career
Erica Lord has exhibited her work in solo exhibitions at the DeVos Museum of Art ( Marquette, MI) and the Alaska Native Arts Foundation Gallery (Anchorage, AK), as well as in group exhibitions such as the Havana Biennial and the Museum of Contemporary Native American Art.
