Erin Donnelly: Artist Opening at the Messinger Gallery

June 14, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm MDT

We invite you to the Messinger Gallery opening for guest artist, Erin Donnelly. Expose yourself to amazing art and engage in meaningful discussion.

Erin Donnelly’s paintings are delicate re-imaginations of landscapes and the events of strangers. Though voyeuristic, they read as deeply personal reinterpretations in that they also seem to question the impact of the observer on the observed landscape. Donnelly studied drawing and painting while receiving a degree in social and cultural anthropology from UC Berkeley. Her degree work focused on mythological and religious traditions in contemporary cultures, and her painting practice continues this line of investigation. Erin has worked as an archaeologist, interior designer, landscape designer, headhunter, and head of sales for a successful beverage company startup before officially retiring from the corporate world in 2021 to focus on painting full time.
