Eryn Tomlinson

Eryn is a Watercolor Painter and Ceramic artist. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2011. She was born and raised in Colorado by a Potter and a Poet. Having spent much of her childhood outdoors in the Rocky Mountains and camping roadtrips across the the United States - she found deep connection amidst the various landscapes; a sea of mountains, the stillness of the high desert plains, the deep oranges and reds of the Southwest, and the stars amidst rock formations in New Mexico.
These experiences embedded within her how the land influences the inner being, the past colliding with the present, reflecting on the ephemeral nature of time, and the peace that can be found in the presence of nature.

Her pottery and paintings are a meditation, created in a repetitive motion, an exploration of form, line, and color; She explores the contrast between contraction and expansion , openness and confinement, experimentalism and tradition, and the idea that beauty is found amidst the contrast.

Eryn currently resides in the Pacific Northwest, and is a proud mother to her 12 year old daughter and their lovely pets.
