I'm Erin. I recently moved to North Carolina after living in Alabama for the last 25ish years. I received my degree in art from Auburn University and taught art until my second child arrived. During these last several years, I have reconnected to my art making, and solidified one of my core beliefs that community/connection is crucial to our health and happiness. I feel that art helps us connect to the world around us and more importantly, to ourselves. Art gives us both the opportunity and the permission to feel. I truly believe that art can inspire us, challenge us, and help us build community.
