Artisan Market Monday: Erika Kristen

Erika Kristen

Erika Kristen is a photojournalist and artist (not to mention, also an Inventory Specialist and B3 Liaison) from Chicago. Her portfolio from the past 15 years features everything from high-end table-top products to obscure art, though most of her experience is in the live concert arena. Musicians photographed over the years include Henry Rollins, Nine Inch Nails, Alice In Chains, Passion Pit and Of Monsters and Men.

Erika explained, “I document history. Every image has a story and more than likely, its one that you would never guess in a million years! My hope for each image I capture is to leave an indelible impression in one’s memory. Good, bad or indifferent. It strikes up conversation, it stirs the soul. Memory fades. An image lasts forever.”
