About Erika R.

aka Miss Teal

Erika ‘Miss Teal’ Rosendale is a site-specific artist hailing from the Pacific Coast of North America, raised in Santa Cruz, CA and now based in Portland, OR. Her background in Fine Art from Boston University and her childhood love for comic books has spawned a super hero complex driving to save the world with compassion and creativity. 

Her work combines these into a narrative of activism, depicting native wildlife and dynamic figurative elements with a focus on anatomy and a flair for surrealism, creating public artwork to spread awareness, environmental stewardship, and social change. 

As a traveling artist and participant in multiple international and national mural festivals, Miss Teal has public works all over the west coast, east coast, and midwest of America, the UK, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Colombia, and Peru. She has won multiple awards for her work, most recently receiving 1st Place in the National Mural Awards for the western region 6. She travels the world to continue uniting the art army, inspiring the creation of a new paradigm.
