​ERIN MCCULLOUGH

When I’m immersed in the creation of an artwork I feel connected to something larger and richer than day to day experience. That feeling of connection allows me to carry on in life with a sense of purpose and peace that I lose when I am unable to create. Making art makes me feel like I am participating in something strong and that strength is what I bring to the rest of my life.
​In my work I try to capture a glimpse of what I see as spiritual by recreating the feeling of a moment. Usually those moments of feeling connected to a greater experience come to me in nature but whatever inspires me is essentially a tap into that deeper truth. As an artist I feel pulled to present things that may seem ordinary to most people but have inexplicable beauty to me. I am consistently drawn to water and light as subjects for my work but my inspiration freely wanders from those themes as well.
