Eriko Maki lives and works in Japan.

Northern Print first became familiar with Eriko’s work when she took part in a print exchange between artists in Nagoya, Japan and artists at Northern Print when based on Fish Quay, North Shields in 1999.

Eriko came to Northern Print in 2003 to take part in a residency alongside two other artists from Japan, including Fusako Yoshikawa. All three artists created a new body of work which then went on a touring exhibition of galleries in the North of England. Eriko’s work was selected for Northern Print Biennale in 2009.
