enliven her creative soul as nothing
else. Subject matter is secondary to the sunlight itself, though her
locations speak volumes about God’s wondrous world of color, drama
and mystery. Reaching further to simplify
and suggest detail is placing her allegiance more and more
with the impressionist school as she grows and adapts to her own
inner angst. This struggle to be honest and deliberate however,
continues to result in images that reflect peace and a yearning for
stillness in a world that is often discordant. Painting en plein
air allows her to capture the essence of a place by more
passionately communicating its light, temperature, color, texture
and mood.
Born in 1957 and a native
Californian, Erin has two grown sons who are artistic, musical and
adventurous. Her husband is her business partner, acting as agent /
picture framer / and proprietor of their own gallery on the north
coast of California, in Fort Bragg's quaint district.
Her work is seen in a variety of galleries and collected around the
world both as originals and in reproductions ranging from limited
editions to cards, calendars, needlework and gift items. It is a
full plate balancing the schedules of location, studio and
gallery work, travel, teaching,
studying, and working with art publishers as well as joyous family
and social gatherings. According to Erin, “There is no better life
than to study the world with paintbrush in hand and a heart full of
love and gratitude.”
