"Michelle Erickson is an internationally recognized contemporary artist specializing in the rediscovery of colonial era ceramic techniques. A graduate of the College of William and Mary, Erickson became fascinated with the rich resource of archaeological ceramics in the “historic triangle” of Virginia. Fragments of pottery and porcelain from British, European, Asian, Native American, and enslaved African makers unearthed in colonial excavations embody a remarkable convergence of cultures in clay. At mid-career Erickson’s depth of historical reference and technological virtuosity distinguishes her unique voice as an American artist working in clay."
