About
Erin Elizabeth Ross is a full-time artist most known for her distinct and colorful landscape paintings. While she explores other genres (florals and fires mostly) landscape has been the foundation of her career and success.
Erin holds a BFA from the University of Alberta and participated in a self lead painting residency in Cape Town, SA between 2016-2017. Her work sits in multiple private and public collections and has been represented in commercial and contemporary Galleries since 2008. Along with representation, she has over 25 years of varied industry experience; jurying and selecting Public Art pieces (as well as creating public art), sitting on governance and fundraising boards for artist run centres and Galleries, creative consulting for private and commercial clients, as well as receiving an Urban Design Award of excellence for her LivingBridge Project. She confidently tackles any scale project in both private and public spaces
For the last decade Erin has focused on creating custom work for individual clients, “One of my favorite parts of doing this work is connecting with people. I love getting to know my clients through the creation process, taking on both the role of artist and consultant. I work directly with them, but also with architects, designers and builders to make any scale project come together and work beautifully (and thoughtfully) in your space. I’m passionate about the transformative power of art, and being able to bring to life spaces.”
Erin maintains a rotating selection of original work available to purchase, as well as paper and canvas prints. Originally from Edmonton, Alberta, she currently lives and works in Vancouver BC.
“I love being both an observer of the world and an active participant in it. I’m curious, passionate, intense and in constant pursuit of understanding things deeper, including myself. I am most grounded in nature, with my feet in dirt or my hands in water. I believe in people, in community, in the power of art being a unifying and universal language. I love cooking, travel, music, animals, being active (preferably outside), saying yes and most importantly, telling stories.”
