Erin Szturm (she/they) received her BFA at UOttawa. Specializing in painting and drawing, the artist uses oils as their favoured medium. Erin often combines environmental explorations, or mournings, with encroaching urban imagery as she herself was uprooted from Northern Ontario and her hometown of Thunder Bay to the political-cultural hub that is Ottawa. No matter the setting, they seek someplace quiet to introspect.

​I am an observer, collector, and researcher into the pleasures, horrors, 'nones,' and 'alls' of human experiences. My interests in the Home are considered through Feminist and Surrealist narratives. Fractured realities on hard, ephemeral surfaces come to life via frenetically applied oils. Results reveal humorous, disgusting, spiritual, and used aspects overlapping our mundane world. Myths devoid of reason and folklore without moralities reconcile as variations of myself converse and play. I hope viewers come to some gnosis here.

She hopes her work, and some fleeting images, last.
