Erika Taguchi is fantasy artist and illustrator who uses traditional methods to achieve a dreamlike quality in her illustrations which explore nature, whimsy and storybook-like narrative. Her style is inspired by her love of classic children’s book illustrations, animation and film, and vintage science fiction and fantasy book covers. Born in Japan, Erika lived in many different places from Germany to Washington D.C.. She graduated from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, and still calls South Florida her home. She attends a small number of conventions such as DragonCon, GenCon, and Illuxcon, as well as a handful of art fairs in the Southeast. Erika has won awards at DragonCon and GenCon, and has appeared in Spectrum: The Best in Fantastic Art and Infected by Art annuals.
