About @Softlyelm
Hi, I’m Eryka, known as Softlyelm on social media.
I am a painter, photographer and ceramist from Atlanta Ga, currently pursuing a BFA in Fine Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design, graduating in 2025.
My work has themes of belonging, transience, and the tension between freedom and confinement, drawing from my childhood experiences in foster care.
Through my work, I seek to amplify the voices of those who have experienced neglect and foster care, offering acknowledgment and understanding while fostering conversations about identity, belonging, and resilience.

Artist Statement
By painting my experiences and utilizing photography my spaces are more than images—they‘re reflections of myself, shaped by my memory and emotion, they are the landscapes of my past and identity. Capturing and reflecting my experiences growing up in foster care through the eyes of space.
