A native of Houston, Erin grew up in the Sugar Land area. While attending University of Houston, she taught with Arts a la Carte; a small arts school in the Greenspoint area. In 2004, Erin transferred over to The River Performing and Visual Arts Center teaching special needs children, high risk children, and their families. Her personal artistic focus is on textile and fabric arts, recycled arts, painting, photography and metalsmithing. In her spare time, Erin is still heavily involved in teaching and exposing art to both her own child and others. She is currently working on a book with her sister, a fellow art teacher and owner of The Crayon Box Studio, for "non-artistic" parents on encouraging creativity in their families.
