Hi, I'm Erin Peacock!

---

I’m inspired by creators, crafters, artisans, and people who care for and tend to their things with a deep sense of presence and attention. I am inspired by those moments where time doesn’t exist because of the required unconditional awareness and focus on creating what is. I am inspired by tradition and the knowledge, wisdom, skill, talent, workmanship, dedication, commitment, insistence, necessity, and resourcefulness of ancestors throughout time who have passed down these gifts to us. I am inspired by the simplest, most devine things and experiences in my day to day life that spark joy and a deep sense of contentment. And I am inspired by the existence of life, love, connection, and the celebratory opportunities that exist for so many things in each moment.

All of these things create who I am and who I am is carried within each stitch and each mark that I make on the paper.

My art is very intuitive. It flows through me. I know with all of me when something isn’t quite right and needs to be reworked, I know when something is just right, and I know when to leave something because it will end up working together with other elements as the final piece comes together. 

I also say my art is intuitive because I get a vision for a piece of work and I make it. I can see the whole piece; the shapes, colors, textures, and movement. It’s like I am creating the thing from an imaginary kind of picture. Many times with these visions, the colors, scale, design elements, or materials may change a bit as I feel the intuitive nudges that tell me to do something slightly different while I create it, but the overall vision IS the actual final piece. 

My art is also more straightforward. For as much imaginary vision I have, I have never been the kind of artist that can think of an elephant and draw an elephant as it is. I need a picture in front of me or to look at the actual elephant and then I can draw it exactly to scale with all of its lines, dimensions, textures, and elements. 

So, my art is a combination of things, depending on what I want to make. It’s a mix of pure magic in intuitive communication with visions that seemingly “come out of nowhere” and a more realistic / create what I see / follow the lines kind of artistry. 

The overall style of my art includes bright, vibrant colors, deep, rich colors, straight linear elements, and lots of movement with waves and undulations. It can be dimensional or flat, eye-catching or subtle, expressive or more subdued or maybe a combination of things. But one thing I know for sure is that it comes from somewhere, flows through me, and is undeniably ~ art that shines from my soul! ~.
