About the Artist:

Erin Phillips loved crating for as long as she can remember. She was the kid who always added a little something extra to her coloring page or art project. Two and a half years into Erin's college music studies she decided to change to pursuing a degree in Fine Arts, and later obtained an MFA in Media Design from Full Sail University in 2022. If asked to define what art is, she would say art is an expression of individualism. For herself, when it's hard to convey thoughts and feelings in complete sentences, Erin finds it easier to communicate through her artwork.
