Erin Starr’s paintings are a dialogue between what is happening to our planet and herself. With our environment in crisis, she finds her work inspired by how to convey the message to think about our natural elements, the beauty around us in its abstract and organic way. Erin states that “Much of what we use in our art is derived from the elements, the minerals of the earth.” Erin uses some of these organic mediums like mica, gold, and bronze powder, to create illuminating and reflective color. She looks at the water and feels the paint move and illuminate with the light, like water. Erin hopes others will stop and reflect on the beauty and movements of the paintings and think about the Earth and the dire importance of protecting it for a more sustainable future.
