Erika Osborne received her BFA from the University of Utah in painting and drawing and her MFA from the University of New Mexico. Osborne's artwork deals directly with cultural connections to place and environment; she taught environmentally-based field courses at the University of New Mexico and has developed two similarly driven courses in her current role as assistant professor of painting and drawing at West Virginia University. She has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, locally, nationally, and internationally. Her work has been highlighted in regional publications along with national art magazines such as Art Papers, Sculpture Magazine, and Southwest Art Magazine.
