I’m Erin, a multimedia artist currently based in Chicago. My goal is to create art in a meaningful way with other artists, musicians, and people to connect in a more genuine way than we may be used to in our everyday lives. I am open to creating and learning new mediums, although I have found the most connection to photographic and videographic mediums.
Since going into quarantine in early 2020, I have found new meaning in creation for myself and others. In the time away from others, I and seemingly many other artists asked ourselves, “who are we creating for, and why?” I finally had time to really focus on that question, and the answer was obvious but strange- I didn’t care about being the best photographer, artist, musician; I didn’t want to be the most successful or make the most money. I genuinely wanted to connect with others and be able to make people ask questions about what I had created, regardless of medium. Through this, I am redefining for myself what creating art means to me, and changing my online presence to reflect that. Since re-evaluating this during quarantine and the years following, I have now been creating with this in mind.
I offer problem solving in artistic mediums and have been on a variety of projects including but not limited to photography/videography for artists, musicians, brands and people; artistic retouching (see the Grouplove photo) and retouching/editing services for headshots; branding and documentary imagery for companies like Sabin; and constant visuals/graphic design as well as preforming as the vocalist and bassist for daarling.
If any of this speaks to you, I would love to collaborate and create more with you.
