Erin Oliver

She / Her / Hers

Erin Oliver is a multi-disciplinary installation artist whose work investigates ideas about abstraction and artifice, cyclical processes, and permeable spatial membranes. Through an intuitive making process, Oliver responds to the landscape and uses abstraction to deconstruct natural imagery through drawing, cutting, layering, and suspending ephemeral materials in space. Erin Oliver (b. 1983, San Diego, CA) currently lives and works in Tampa, Florida, where she is an MFA candidate at the University of South Florida.

She also holds an Art Education degree from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. Erin has received several grants and residency fellowships including the Vermont Studio Center, the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation, Penland School of Crafts, the Ella Foundation Pratt Emerging Artist Grant, and was recently awarded the Gasparilla Emerging Artist Award, juried by Paul Galloway from MOMA.

Her paintings and installation work has been exhibited along the East coast including Tempus Projects in Tampa, FL, the Carrack Modern Art in Durham, NC, and the Greenhill Center for North Carolina Art in Greensboro, NC.
