Erica Deshner Cornwall ~ Interdisciplinary Mixed & Multimedia Artist
Erica moved to Boise in 1995 and studied as a dancer but was never able to make the professional cut. She was told her weight was a problem, the fact was she had to work several jobs to pay the bills as a single mother.
She refocused her ambitions as a lighting technician moonlighting as a video cable page. Eventually Erica saved enough money to travel to the UK. This is where she went to her first underground art show. The building housed levels of mediums to inspire creative minds. It was on the 6th floor she fell in love with film and video as an art.
Armed with an Interdisciplinary Art Studio Study degree from Boise State University, she taught dance for years with Boise City Parks and Recreation. Her first job out of college was at a local television station. She was a Photojournalist who eventually became a creative producer and Set designer.
As an Installation she would like to introduce you to the family. Erica has focused her installation on body positivity and family. She wants you to be able to connect your own identity with the way you capture memories.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Erica started working a hotdog cart for a department store at the age of 12 She had a dream to one day be the window decorator for this famous department store. The Idea of owning her own Mannequins happened in 2010 when a branch of this famous department store closed it’s doors forever. She bought the 2 headless women and their sons she named Hank and Dean. On the first night in their living room after she went to bed her family thought it would be funny to see her reaction when she awoke to her toy camera on the head of one and dressed in their cloths.
