Erica Stockwell-Alpert

Erica Stockwell-Alpert is an artist from Maynard and an alum of the Umbrella Arts Center. She has studied art for her entire life and has always had a passion for passing on her knowledge to others. She holds the philosophy that there is no such thing as a person who "cannot draw," only those who haven't practiced enough; and that anybody who is willing to put in the work can become a skilled artist. Her preferred mediums are pencil and pen drawing and acrylic painting, though she dabbles in digital drawing, watercolor, charcoal, and mixed media. Her work has been displayed at various cafes and art galleries, and she loves organizing local art shows. She is also an amateur filmmaker and runs the Strange Maynard Independent Film Festival.
