Erica Williams | HookieDuke, is an independent artist in Minneapolis, MN.
Their interdisciplinary practice spans illustration and printmaking, fiber works, and symbolic art objects. Their inspiration originates in the natural world, folklore, and the quiet strangeness and spirit of living and dying things; rendered in dense, detailed compositions of flora, fauna woven together. They have created artwork for clients in music, publishing, games, and brand work, and show regularly at national conventions and live events.
Through WeCreate, they mentor other working artists.
