Meet the Artist

Hi! I’m Erin Halla Shakespeare.

Art has always been the place where I find peace and joy, along with nature and fantasy. Growing up my favourite thing to do was get lost in a story of fairies and witchcraft, while wandering through nature.

I also have a chronic illness that makes daily life a little bit harder! Stories and art have not only been a place for me to find joy, but also have served as an escape from the heaviness of life.

Beauty has neuroscience based impacts on our sense of safety and well-being, and I believe that adding beauty to our homes and work spaces can help bring more easy and sense of connection to our every day lives.

C.V.

Since studying Visual Arts and Art History at S.F.U, I have created personal and commercial work that features strong colour and composition, drawing from my personal experiences and nature as sources of inspiration. I've exhibited at Harmony Arts Festival, Gallery George, PoMo Arts Centre, North Vancouver's CityScape, North Van Art's Art Rental, and Slice of Life Gallery. 

I have also create designs for wedding stationary in Vancouver, Belgium and Australia, and have licensed my artwork internationally.

Style

As a versatile artist, I work with a variety of mediums, including oil, watercolour, pastel, and surface pattern design, allowing me to bring a rich, diverse approach to my creations. My background in graphic design deeply influences my work, with a strong emphasis on composition and color that ensures each piece is visually compelling. There’s a playful energy woven throughout my art, and when paired with thoughtful design elements, it creates dynamic, engaging works that captivate and draw you in. Whether for wedding stationery or fine art, I am dedicated to crafting pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful.
