Adelman's Peony Fields Print

Eryn Tehan was raised in Portland, Oregon, and graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor’s in Journalism. She is best known for her modern, impressionist paintings with bold palette knife textures, and thick applications of intensely colorful oil paint. Her deep connection to the natural world, passion for exploration and sharing experiences, inspires her work. Wielding only palette knives, Eryn creates chunky, visible thickness, adding to her unique style. One of the goals in her paintings, is to spotlight hidden colors in flora, creating powerful emotional responses and new ways of seeing and experiencing natural beauty. A painter for only a few short years, she has quickly expanded her career. Of note, she has shown work at Ford Gallery, Alberta Street Gallery, CHP Galleries, Red E. Gallery, and has worked with Travel Portland, The Oregon Society of Artists, Lakewood Center of the Arts, 510 Museum, The Chelsea Hicks Foundation, Step It Up PDX, and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines. Her time with Alberta Street Gallery led her quickly into the leadership role of Social Media and Web manager. Her work is held in private collections across the United States.
