Dreams

Artist Statement

Inspired by my heart for nurturing, being a mother and now grandmother, I believe our homes are the central place of stability and our sanctuary from the world. I create paintings that bring more of that energy into your space.

My passion for art started as soon as I could hold a crayon in my hand, and I've always been drawing or painting something.

Time stands still
when I paint.

Now that my own children are grown, I’ve returned to my studio and fallen in love with the creative process all over again. My work is both an exploration and a remembering of my life.

I am currently working on a new Dream series, taking private commissions, illustrating a children’s book on death and dying, and preparing for the next art show here in Durango Colorado.

I have known Erinn for over 12 years and just learned of her art work only 3 years ago. I have been amazed at her ability to capture any image in a pleasing and beautiful way. We purchased an original and a canvas print which we absolutely love! I have acquired lots of original art over the years and the pieces by Erinn are two of my favorites. This is not just a business for her. it is more of calling and you can feel the love and heart energy in everything she does.

Erinn creates so many emotions with her art. My husband and I love her paintings. The piece we had commissioned was a fun piece with squirrels and a little girl. It stirs emotions of wonder and awe. It is bright, colourful and exudes love. The print of the Native American Indian is majestic and beautifully done. We highly recommend this talented artist. She puts so much love into every painting she creates.

Erinn has a passion and gift for painting. She recently painted my wife and she captured her personality beautifully. I stare into her eyes and I can see and feel her spirit. It is impossible for me to put a price tag on that painting. My wife has gone to heaven, so even though she is no longer with me physically, I feel she is still with me in spirit through this painting and we’ve had many discussions as I stare into her eyes. Truly grateful.

I wish I had the words to express to you the gratitude I have. You captured my spark in a painting you did of me. It hangs next to the picture you painted of my husband. I can feel the warmth of our feelings in each piece. Your art has blessed my home and given me great joy. You are truly blessed with talent and grace to share that with others. Thank you doesn’t convey enough of what I’m feeling.

Dreams

My heart hurts for what our world is going through right now…and yet I keep having dreams of peace and unity coming to humanity. I created this series as a beginning to seeing that come to fruition.
