Erica Gosich Rose aka EGR (pronounced Eager) grew up in Burlington; a small, quiet suburban city just a train ride away from Toronto, Canada. Her fascination of the creative arts began at a young age, and while attending the Illustration program at Sheridan College, EGR's strong interest in street art and graffiti intensified; the aesthetics and concepts of which are featured prominently in her work today. She received multiple illustration opportunities for major Toronto newspapers, music and style magazines from LA to NY, before moving to Toronto in 2000. There, after art directing a fully animated music video, 'El Dorado' by BrassMunk, EGR curated several shows at Artist Lounge, a downtown gallery space that she developed which showcased local urban art and music. Following several appearances creating art at concerts, galleries, music videos, events and live-to-air on Canada’s music station, MuchMusic, EGR's art gained wide spread recognition. Her art has been featured in numerous international print and online publications and books, album covers, bikes, skateboards and murals, on crumbling city walls and in pristine art galleries in locales as far as Australia and even Florence, Italy, where she was recently invited to participate in a two-week long, live art exhibition. EGR’s work can be viewed and purchased online at www.EGRart.com or by appointment at the EGR Art Inc. gallery & studio in Toronto, Canada.
EGR has graced the covers of UK graffiti journal Graphotism, Toronto’s Pound and New York’s Elemental magazine, with spotlights in Graffiti World and Graffiti Women books. Clients include Universal Music, Tiffany & Co., GM Motors, Sony Music, Tommy Boy Records, Toyota, Bell Canada and Athletes World.
