ERICA WALKER

I grew up enjoying watching my father work at his jeweler's bench as a hobby, and developed a strong love and appreciation for handcrafted art.When my sister, Kiki Huston inherited his tools and began "smithing" I was inspired and encouraged to give it a try. Having experimented with many different mediums over the years, I felt almost instantly at home with silver.

I find inspiration in everything from textiles, papers, and of course nature. There's almost nothing more beautiful to me than a simple, smooth beach stone or river rock.

Most of my pieces have a simple, clean, organic feel. My work isn't sparkly or "flawless". I'm partial to silver with a satin finish that has the feel of the artist's hand, and believe that most pieces get better with the patina of time and wear.

Please join us for our opening receptions during an art walk on the first Saturday of every month in the New Orleans Arts District from 6 pm to 9 pm.

Our current hours are Mondays - Saturday 10 AM - 5 PM or by appointment.
