Welcome to the homepage of artist Erin Allen. Here, artwork as well as potential business opportunities are showcased, especially commissioned portraits.

 

I am primarily a portrait artist, with distinct leanings to the fantastical as well as a penchant for painting music makers. My muse is fueled by music and the worlds created by authors and the illustrators who have inspired me to become a painter. Without them, I could not create. My key ambition is to take the inspiration granted me, and to funnel it into my work and in turn give inspiration to another. With a keen interest in book and album covers, I strive to carve out a career for myself interpreting, enhancing and embodying my inspiration. In addition my love for animals has prompted me to expand my repetoire to include portraits of people's beloved pets.

This year I have taken to designing and creating one of a kind leather handbags, as well as other leather crafts. Items are available for purchase at my Etsy Shop.

I currently reside in the Greater Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada
