Erica Kelly Martin

Erica Kelly Martin is an American lens based artist and native of Los Angeles, California. Martin photographs people in their surroundings, their rituals and the manifestations of their interior lives, as well as human influenced landscapes, and still lives that reflect current events both personal and universal. Her work concerns recurring themes of identity, transformation, and the paradox of human existence captured at a moment in time. Her photographs show the fraying edges of polite society, and the vernacular secrets that most people pass by. In addition, Martin has created a series of portrait works, often of alternative communities, exploring how her subjects navigate the world and find their tribe. Martin is the mother of two, and was for many years an environmental attorney. Martin’s work has been featured on Lenscratch, Lensculture, Musée Magazine, L’Oeil de Photographie and PDN Magazine, and has been shown at galleries and exhibitions internationally.
