Erika Wanenmacher
Born in the mid-1950s in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, Erika attended Kansas City Art Institute and the Feminist Studio Workshop in Los Angeles before settling in Santa Fe, New Mexico (whose landscape she had dreamed), where she has lived and worked for over 40 years. Her work has been shown and collected internationally.
“I am an unrepentant maker of things. I believe objects that are made with intent carry resonance that can shift energy, power, and beliefs. Clear intent focused by will and imagination are the components of a spell. I make spells in the form of objects.”

For GRIMOIRE, Erika Wanenmacher presents an exhibition of personal spell-making; a journey of gathering and storing magic. In a preliminary exhibition description, Erika writes, “Although the term grimoire usually denotes a traditional encyclopedia of western magic, this show really describes my own personal territory of art-making."
