Long before erin the great became an artist, she was a quiet girl in a huge, loud family. In her silence, no one knew Erin was creating make believe worlds. In a closet or underneath the table (her favorite hiding spots), little Erin would conduct experiments in imagination. From an early age, she developed a strong love for art. Erin picked up many pencils and paintbrushes along the way, eventually receiving a degree in fine arts from the University of Tennessee, where her illustrations continued to take on a very imaginative, playful spirit. It was this spirit that carried Erin from the canvas to the children's book."I had such a strong bond with my favorite books growing up. I hope my illustrations can have that same effect on someone else!"Erin has written and illustrated 2 books; Just Beyond My Front Door and Mr.

Mailbox Man Goes to Work. She and Kelly Young-Silverman have teamed up to make Evie and Knox Stories, the first story being Man in the Moon.For fun, Erin plays keys in the band, Imagination Head, with her husband.
