Art by Erin Leigh {2011}


My name is Erin Leigh and I'm a mixed media collage artist, which means I use paper, paint, pastels, markers, and anything I can find to create. I combine rich texture and color with quotes and scripture that encourage me daily. My hope it that my work will do the same for you and your family.
I believe that we are all born with a gift that is meant to be used and given away. It is pure joy to have discovered this gift and to trust that God will use it for his glory. In being able to create, and provide for my family, I am living a dream for which I am unspeakably grateful. I create all of my work in my little room at home, while chasing around my 3 year old and 3 month old, teaching first grade part time, and figuring out cheap and healthy meals to cook for my family, among other things.
I am truly thankful for each and every purchase and kind word of encouragement. I pray that these words will sink deep into your heart and be a source inspiration to you and your family. I love to create commissioned work, too, just ask.

The connection I get from kind souls keeps me going.
