Meet Erin

Hello friend. I’m Erin.

Thank you for visiting my little space.

I’m just a girl with a lifelong dream of making things and if I’m lucky, being able to share the things my hands have touched.  To be honest, it’s taken me a long time to get here.  Like here, here, in this quiet tiny outpost of the internet, on this page with you.  

And oh let me tell you, if you haven’t noticed, here we are whimsical. Here we are seekers of light.  Here we cast spells of hope, kindness, healing. Here we support each other, we laugh, we cry, we rage, we revolt and we live as joyfully as we can.  We honor the soft life.

I’m a painter, collector of words, user of vintage bits and thingies, layerer, intuitive artist.  Sometimes my art is digital, sometimes tactile, sometimes both. I really love painting and drawing animals, hey maybe sometime you’ll let me paint yours! 

Can I be honest though? I’ve been through it, I suspect maybe you have too. My “through it” looks like decades of shame, eating disorder, isolation, depression, burnout, undiagnosed PCOS, chronic lack of confidence in what I’m capable of, and a few other things we can talk about in person.  And yet.  If you know me (and you do a little already!) I’m tenaciously whimsical.  I’m a curator of life’s quiet beauty, of wonder and joy.  I wear my heart of my sleeve, I love deeply and I give with my whole self.  I’m a curator of magic. I’m also…happy. What a thing to say in this world.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years living advertising agency life. And between us, I plan to spend the next 20+ living my magical-artist-house-witch life.  I love animals (duh), blue-green (also duh), the sound of the banjo, waterfalls, lavender, the feeling of paint on my fingers, glitter on my face and the full bodied rush of everyday awe.  Awe, right?  In my experience, it’s the best defense against doom.  Get a bit curious and awe is pretty quick to show up. 

Maybe we can find a little awe together.
