Painting, studying and teaching the subject of light is Erin’s driving force. The cool shadows of early morning and those that fall long and warm in the evening enliven her creative soul as nothing else. Travel and study with well known artists over the past 25 years have given her opportunities to explore a myriad of inspirational places, but the village she calls home is the inspiration for this show. As she reaches further to simplify and suggest detail, her allegiance rests more and more with the impressionist school, and this struggle to be honest and deliberate continues to result in images that reflect peace and a yearning for stillness in a world that is often discordant.
