erin castellan

my wonderful risd tour guide (and talented artist) heather guidero sent me a link to artist erin castellan. i was really taken with her paintings, some of which include details like stitching. i've been on the lookout for a really beautiful painting lately and these are definitely in the right direction. erin graduated from risd and now makes beautiful knitted hats along with these paintings and a collection of sketches. you can view erin's work right here and inquire about work via email. enjoy! (heather is having a trunk show to debut her fall 2006 line of jewelry so if you're in providence this weekend stop by- october 28 from 5-8 at relish: 377 broadway, 401-273-8883)
