Erin’s painting series is a profound dialogue between our planet’s crisis and her creative expression. “I look at the elements of the earth, the balance of nature, and a bird’s eye view of the stunning contrast of land that we don’t always see. While our planet is vast and different it is all one in how we can preserve it for future generations. I am creating a story of our planet but most importantly a message about climate change and what is infinite or finite”.
