Ericka Brooke Howarth Baque, was born February 9th, 1972. She is a graduate of the Fine Art Program at Norwich Free Academy, in Norwich, Connecticut. She also has a B.A. in History/Art from Eastern Connecticut State University. Ericka resides in Connecticut with her husband Alex, and their four felines. Ericka's inspiration comes from her own mixture of passionate romanticism and macabre.
When Ericka is not displaying her passions on canvas, she is expressing them through writing. She is presently working on a novel that she will release in the near future. Ericka is not restricted to the vampiric themes as you see here, she also indulges into themes of mermaids, faeries, ghosts, goddesses, dark angels and fairytale characters with a romantic flair. You can visit her official site to view other works than what is sampled here.
Besides being a terrific and talented artist, Ericka has been a very wonderful friend to both me and Ash_Night over the years. She was the creator of the original Darkness Embraced Artwork (see above) that made DE so beautiful. She inspired and uplifted Ash_Night and helped her through a very rough time in her life. Ericka is our dark angel. Although the miles may keep us apart, you are forever near and dear to our heart. We love you!
