“With this collection, I want to share my love for the natural world and celebrate its beauty through every season,” Erin explained. The series captured the soft whites and muted greys of winter, fresh greens and soft pastels of spring, bursts of vibrant summer colours, and cozy earth tones of autumn. It was a visual journey through the seasons through the lens of the artist.
Erin is no stranger to Kerrobert, as she lived there during her elementary school years and had her art displayed at the gallery several years ago. “Also my first two years of teaching high school were at Kindersley Composite,” Erin noted. The community connection was evident as she extended a warm greeting and a smile to each guest.
She also created a special painting for her show in Kerrobert. Hanging on the wall was Erin’s painting of the Kerrobert Water Tower, a local landmark. “I painted it about a month ago for this show,” she explained. She often receives inspiration from photos, and in this case, she said she used multiple photos before completing the painting.
As a Saskatoon-based artist, she explores the province’s landscape, capturing scenes of varied skies, forests, mountains and water throughout the seasons. It was a visual treat for anyone who has a deep appreciation for the beauty of our province.
