Erin Foggoa

Erin is a wildlife and landscape artist originally from the Rocky Mountains of Golden, BC.

Erin draws inspiration from daily walks in the forest and morning strolls on the beach from just beyond the back door of her home in Nelson, BC. When having a creative block or a moment of indecision, Erin can be found with her toes in the sand, kids and dogs at her side, taking in the pristine beauty of her surroundings.



Erin is a self taught traditional artist, and graduate from Pacific Design Academy for her digital work. She balances both as the two entirely different practices are a perfect metaphor for who she is; the traditional an expression of a need to get dirty, play with paint, create something tangible and textural, and the need for the perfect precise clean lines and hard abstract work that can only come from years of illustrating with her Mac.



Erin will be joining fellow artists in a residency at Chateaux D’Orqueveaux France in 2022, as well as having just gone on a grizzly tour this year to more deeply explore the textures and energy of these animals that feature constantly in her work. She will also be completing the #100 bears project in 2022, painting 100 different unique perspectives on bears.
