Erin Kuhn is best known for layering her dark conceptual themes under bright and cheerful palettes. She is a mixed media artist and photographer working in New Jersey. She earned her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. Her process often combines mold making, found objects imbued with their own cultural connotations, printmaking, photography, painting and sculpture. The overarching theme throughout her artwork reveals a pattern of animal symbolism and religious syncretism that forms its own lexicon.
Growing up, Erin spent her high school years at Parsons School of Design, lugging a giant black portfolio through the city on weekends and spending summers on campus there. Art education has always been a lifelong passion, and the hours spent in museums and galleries growing up help fostered a deeper appreciation of art. She attended MICA for her Bachelor’s degree, and majored in photography. She studied printmaking and sculpture, painting, digital arts and ceramics but specialized in darkroom and alternative process photography. After graduation she spent the following decade working in various artistic fields, honing her carpentry skills, working on large murals as well as expanding her photography career and working on professional photoshoots. She is skilled in a wide breadth of media, and is available for commissions and collaborations. Erin has also worked as a studio manager for multiple artists, and has a polished and professional business acumen and excels in many different creative fields.
