Erin is a retired Art Therapist with a B.A. in journalism and art along with an M.A. in art therapy. At one time she attended a painting class at MCC and was introduced to “encaustic painting” which is the ability to create textures, colors and shapes with the elasticity of oil and wax. This continues to be her focus in her cold wax and oil paintings on wood panels. Erin is interested in manipulated layers of paint that create a visual landscape of space in which the viewer can enter.
