About the artist

Erin Keane

Erin Keane is an artist working with photography, encaustic beeswax, and bookbinding. In photography, she explores the elasticity of light and creates luminous paintings with photographic brushstrokes and layers of encaustic. In bookbinding, she explores innovative bindings and stitches and designs encaustic book sculptures and journals to honor books as an art form.

Erin lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains outside of Asheville, North Carolina, and works daily at her cozy home studio near Pisgah National Forest. She spends her leisure time hiking, canoeing, camping, creek stomping, sunset chasing, bonfire chilling, and star gazing. Her adventures in the mountains, lakes, and rivers become embedded personally into her imagery.
