About NuClear Makeup Owner, Erica Putis
Erica Putis grew up in a small town in Vermont where the grass was green and the winters cold. During this time, she wandered for hours around her family’s 20 acres, continuously in awe of nature and her surroundings. Creating was always something that happened and never stopped even when she grew up.
She created clothes for her Barbies and sold jewelry to her fellow fourth graders. She won drawing contests and illustrated peers’ stories. In high school, Erica refined her craft and ventured into wood sculpture, painting, realist drawings, intricate beading work and theater. It was at 18 that she sold her first art piece to her high school, which was one of the first in their private collection. She contemplated going to college for art but decided to venture into music and theater.
During her time in college and for many years following, she lived in Massachusetts while pursuing a music career. In 2005 she and her band traveled across country and landed in sunny San Diego, CA. During her time in San Diego, she continued writing music with various bands and got back into painting. It was also during this time that she created her clothing business, natural skin products, started writing books and planning events.
Nuclear Makeup was inspired by her experience as a makeup artist. She was always on the search for lip cream and makeup with no artificial chemicals. Knowing that our skin is our biggest organ and what goes on it is absorbed directly, it became her passion to create small batch, natural skincare, makeup and home scented accents. Erica currently moved back to her hometown and resides in Manchester, Vermont and is always experimenting with new and fun products to share with the public.
