Erzinger has earned top prizes in many group shows, most notably a Merit award from the Huntsville Art Museum Biennial Red Clay Survey. Solo shows include Spalding University, Billy Hertz Gallery, Swanson Contemporary, the Art Sanctuary and the Mary Anderson Center. She participated in The Art of Goodwill residency program, and represented Kentucky in the national Her Flag project. She is the current Chair of the Enid Generations of Women Sculptors and the Louisville TimeBank. Her recent residency at the BigCi Artist residency in Bilpin, Australia and deep-seeded wanderlust have inspired her to seek more art-travel opportunities in the future.

Assemblage, leftovers from the making of bite guards, metal rings
"As an artist, I have been fascinated with mass consumerism, waste, health, nature, and women’s issues. I view my activity as an anthropological study or environmental ethnography that explores our cultural values, behavior, and norms. My work is rooted in an exploration of cycles, circles, connection, and disconnection. In addressing these issues, my current studio practice involves the use of discarded materials, including outdated electronic equipment, toys, medical supplies, and shipping waste. Working in the tradition of assemblage and collage, I use found materials in concert with natural materials to create sculptural forms meant to examine our relationship with nature in this man-made world.”
