BIOGRAPHY
Erin Armstrong is a contemporary figurative artist working and living in Toronto, Canada. After graduating from Dalhousie University with a B.A. in 2012 Armstrong decided to continue her education in the arts. Enrolling in the continuing studies program at OCAD University she developed the skills necessary to pursue her career as an artist.
Using quick and decisive pencil and charcoal markings over acrylic based images Armstrong's goal is to create people in everyday situations in an expressive and dream like world. Her concern is not to recreate reality as it exists but rather to evoke a feeling and an atmosphere that transports the viewer into a world of personal interpretation.
Her work has been acquired in both private and public collections in Canada, the US and UK. She is currently represented and exhibiting in galleries in Toronto and New York City, with an upcoming show in London England.
