Erin Branscum is a muralist, painter, illustrator, and photographer in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Her works deal with the connection between humans and landscapes, and she is most interested in documenting her own relationship with the environment, capturing moments from her own adventures biking, hiking, skiing, rafting, traveling, or playing outside. By using bright colors and texture from application of paint, she creates moments in her artwork that draw attention to viewers bringing them in to take a closer look. Her artwork is peaceful, fun, familiar, and detailed in an impressionistic way.
