I'm Erin, a fine artist living and working in St. Louis, Missouri. My primary medium is watercolor, which I love for its spontaneous, expressive qualities and range of color intensity. I paint primarily from photos I take—some photos come from my back yard, and others from places like Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, or the Coromandel in New Zealand.
Stylistically, I enjoy an intersection between realism and abstraction—many of my paintings pair a realistic subject with elements where I allow the paint to run a little wild. I focus mostly on natural themes, and I have a particular love of plants and landscapes. In my work, I examine floral shapes up close, and much wider, sweeping vistas of trees and mountains.
Nature is a gift, both inspiring and essential. As the saying goes, "There is no Planet B." I hope that my work connects you with the natural world and reminds everyone of the need to conserve and protect our earth.
Hello, dear friend!
I often exhibit your works in my journals, but I don't have the opportunity to report it in person every time. Notifications from the DA work intermittently. Therefore, if you want to see your works and get acquainted with the works of other authors, you can periodically (1-2 times a month) visit my page in the journals section. It's here:

Have a great day! With love, Anna))) 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you for letting me know! I do try to keep track of my notifications, but things do get lost sometimes. <3 I appreciate you sharing my work with the community!!
