From an exhibition review by Nathan Moshinsky: 'Erica's strong drawing ability is evident in "Blue Nude" which is a back view of a female figure rendered in pastel on paper. Not only is this work effective because of the expressive pose of the depicted figure, but the cross-hatching over that form with the use of different coloured pastels has provided an interesting intensity to this work. There is a strong interplay of cool and warm colours in this work.'
