An Atlanta native, Erin Tapp returned to her hometown after graduating from Wake Forest University in 2016, where she was a Presidential Scholar for the Visual Arts and majored in English and Studio Art and minored in Art History. Largely influenced by her time studying abroad in Florence, Italy, her work is informed by her love of travel, architecture, vibrant cultures, and new experiences. Whether capturing the familiarity of friends enjoying a cup of coffee at a café, the grandeur of an awe-inspiring cathedral, or the delicate beauty of flowers on a walk, her paintings seek to celebrate moments of joy and beauty in both the extraordinary and everyday.
Erin’s work is defined by bright and pastel colors, playful perspectives, and a balancing of the traditional and whimsical in both technique and subject matter . Each piece aims to bring warmth, hominess and joy to its spaces and audiences, inviting its viewers to cherish the beauty of shared moments, both grand and small, for years to come.
