Interview with Erica Leighton aka sheispretty
`Princess-of-Shadows
reports, May 21, 2008
reports, May 21, 2008Known as =sheispretty here on dA, Erica has been working hard along the years to create and develop a unique surreal style of her own. I was so glad when she told she accepted to answer a few questions, this is my way to share her work and letting you know a bit more about such a sweet artist. Strong, independent and talented, she has the power of a tornado and the gentleness of a breeze.
♥ You have without a doubt created a world of your own. Your unique style can be recognized miles and miles away, because it's so beautiful, sharp and professional looking. Now let's be honest, have you dealt with people wanting to know the "secrets" of your work or even trying to reproduce it?
Yes, of course. I think that just comes with the territory. It's extremely flattering on most accounts, but when people constantly ask for your "secrets" it is frustrating that they cannot seem to just experiment and find their own way... it says something about a person.
♥ This will probably be a question that many artists nowadays deal with, but personally I would love to hear what you have to say about this matter. Why is it that in most of your works you use only the feminine figure?
I've been asked this somewhat often. For me personally, I just prefer the feminine figure (straight up). I am a female and I understand myself far more then male attributes. I always naturally associate a masculine figure with more aggressiveness in a portrait. Not to say that they are, only that it is really only about how I feel for my work and I usually, naturally feel feminine and on a softer note. If I do feel aggressive, it comes out on a darker said rather then a masculine one.
You seem to use very symbolic elements along your art path, such as stars and hearts. Would you like to talk about them and let us know what is the meaning behind it?
First thing , do not always take everything so literal. There have been moments when creating my work that I have been in search of a heart because mine felt heavy (hanging stars make me think of childhood). For the most part, it is simple, I like how it looked.
Something else that appears along your art are suitcases here and there. And the subject seems to be getting ready for a trip, to run away without destiny. Is it a metaphor, or is it something you truly feel in real life?
There was a time in my life that I did just pack up what I could in my car and drove off. I didn't run away, people knew where I was going, but I was perhaps running away from specific things I will not mention. I love travel, and we are a military family and move around every 3 years... and I love that. I like a new slate, and I need that. The only thing that truly stays consistent is this... my online being.
When you look back to your earliest works, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Do you realize how much you have grown, or are you a perfectionist always striving for bigger better and never able to be happy with your own results?
I am happy with new results usually at the time of conception, of course. After time passes though... I do begin to dislike and wish to strive for much much more. I feel I am currently in transition of something and I do feel that it reflects in my work. ("perfectionist"? i wish and like to hope so).
When you have some time alone for yourself, apart from all artistic activity what do you enjoy doing?
I don't have much time alone because I am a mommy and I choose not to be alone. When my husband deploys, when I'm not working on my work (which is my alone time)... I listen to music, and just lay... on the carpet, in the grass, on the beach... As of lately, I run (on an elliptical) and... I sure do love "running away". So yeah, music it is.
