MJF Featured Artists
There are lots of pathways to nourishing and nurturing our well-being. Movement is one of them, and art is another, and even better when the two can meet.
When we opened Moving Just Fine, we knew we wanted it to be more than a Pilates studio. Hence, our featured artists program. Every few months, we’ll host an artist’s work on our walls and in our space. Their pieces will be available for purchase, or you can simply admire them and let them move you while you move.

Erica Hart [they/she]
November 2025 - February 2026
Erica Hart is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in painting and performance. Grounded in somatic research, improvisation, and process-based archiving, their work explores embodied experience through gesture-driven mark-making and movement. Known for gestural paintings and performative installations, Hart approaches the body as both subject and medium, engaging themes of sensation, memory, and attentive presence.
Their paintings often start with time-based somatic drawings—field notes that document spatial and emotional engagement. Combining studio practice and performance, these gestural compositions function as abstract maps, sometimes evoking a cartographic quality that traces internal states and movement that explore how the body perceives and engages with its environment.
Hart uses paper and canvas as receptive surfaces, while layering mixed media to give their work a textured, patina-like quality. These layered materials suggest an ongoing dialogue with memory and history. Hart’s visual language is minimal yet expressive, defined by repetition, interruption, and spatial restraint. Influenced by archival studies and somatics, their practice treats the body as a living document—an evolving site of presence, reflection, and meaning-making.
