THE ARTIST BEHIND THE ARTWORK
Erika Latrice Mixon, known professionally as E.Latrice Art, is a self-taught oil painter whose work is rooted in storytelling, emotion, and cultural preservation. Raised in Fairfield, Alabama, her artistic practice is deeply connected to the experiences, history, and spirit of Black life.
Her paintings are known for their rich color, layered textures, and expressive detail, capturing both intimate and collective moments. Through her work, Erika explores identity, community, and the quiet strength found in everyday experiences. Each piece is created with intention, inviting viewers to feel seen, reflect more deeply, and connect with the stories being told.
Her work has been featured across various platforms and spaces, continuing to resonate with audiences who value art that is both personal and culturally grounded.
The Curator
EXPANDING BEYOND THE CANVAS
While her work has long lived on canvas, Erika’s practice has evolved to include curatorial work.
Beyond the canvas, Erika’s work extends into curating spaces where Black art can be experienced in a more immersive and meaningful way. Her curatorial journey began with producing her solo shows early in her career and later co-founding the Fairfield Black Art Collective, where she helped produce exhibitions and programming centered on community, visibility, and creative connection.
That foundation continues to shape her approach today. Through E.Latrice Art and the development of Gallery Noir, she curates experiences that bring together artists, collectors, and audiences in thoughtful and intentional ways. Her focus is on creating environments where art, culture, and storytelling exist together, allowing each exhibition to feel both elevated and deeply rooted in authenticity.
As a curator, Erika is driven by a commitment to amplifying Black voices, creating opportunity, and building experiences that leave a lasting impression.
