Erin Curry

Starting off as a biologist with an emphasis in zoology, I knew my affinity for the natural world was something I needed to pursue. While working for the Dallas Zoo, I discovered that I was to be a biologist turned artist. I picked up drawing about 9 years ago and now I am showing my work all over the country. Using NanoLiner ink pens, I draw my unique characters onto cut and layered watercolor paper which I then elevate into shadowboxes by pushing needles through the paper. The subject matter is inspired not only by my biology background but for my love of anything oddly beautiful. I want my work to inspire and bring peoples attention to the underlying beauty and marvelousness of the world around them!
