Erin Nelson is an emerging artist originally from Aotearoa, New Zealand, who explores her world through acrylic paints, pen illustration, and occasionally photography. She has a passion for capturing the essence of faces, bodies, birds, and places, blending eye-catching cartoon-like colour blocking with emotive line work. Erin’s art draws inspiration from the mundane and messy, creating pieces that bridge the gap between her internal human experience and the external environment.
Though new to the art scene, Erin’s work reflects a growing talent and an exciting journey in the world of visual creativity. She is eager to make meaningful connections in Hedland and continue to deepen her understanding of this place.
