Erin Kozakiewicz is an emerging Oklahoma artist whose artwork consists of a diverse number of subjects. These subjects are things she finds to be inspirational both for herself and for others. Though she has spent most of her life in Oklahoma City, she has also lived in Buffalo, NY and has done some traveling. Erin considers art to be one of the most powerful and important ways to reach the community and to provide inspiration for others. She is currently working toward a doctorate in Art History and spends much of her spare time volunteering for local art organizations. "One of the best ways to gain an appreciation for art is to take part in the action of creating it."
