Artist's Biography
Erica Ehrenbard is a sculptor based in Philadelphia’s Callowhill neighborhood, where she has revitalized an early-20th-century carriage house. Out of her studio, Ehrenbard runs a custom fabrication company, Carriage Creative Co., that pairs her artistic sensibility with professional design capacity. Concurrent to her artistic & fabrication practices, Ehrenbard works as a Researcher for KieranTimberlake, where she engages architects in articulating design questions and building physical prototypes. Erica was born in New York City and raised in New Jersey, earning her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. She has been awarded residencies with Vermont Studio Center and Chashama. Erica’s work has been acquired by private collectors and she is currently producing a public artwork for Philadelphia’s historic firehouse, Engine 37.
