Hello! My name is Erica, and I am the founder of Art by Hille. Welcome to my collection of work. After graduating with a BFA in Photography and Intermedia Arts from Ball State University, I moved away from Indiana to Boston,, which has allowed me to find new ways to explore and create art. 

I enjoy exploring the human figure and creating photographs that trigger emotions in people. My passion for my work stems from creating environments where people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and ultimately feel confident in their own skin. I find that with a lot of the things I do, very much so in photography, it is the accidents and unexpected moments I am drawn to and remember most, like the unplanned photoshoots, random bursts of inspiration, and ending up with a cat who became the light of my life. These are the captured moments that I never expected to create, and in time, I hope to have the same reaction, but in a new light. 

Outside of photography, I am fascinated with exploring astrology and dabbling in oil paints. I have a cat (pictured below) named Catherine because I couldn't tell the vet her name was Cat, plus she thinks she is royalty, so the name stuck.
