Erin McNamee is an Ipswich based visual artist with an interest in portraiture, created through traditional drawing techniques, digital drawing, embroidery and photography.

Having been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and OCD, the psychotic symptoms that she experiences during more challenging times often have a strong influence on her artwork and the worlds that she creates. The obsessions that Erin finds herself having at these times, also find their way into her artistic practice.

Naturally drawn to self-portraiture as a way to express and connect to her own physical body. Erin also enjoys creating portraits of the people around her and people from her imagination or inner world. Also inspired by elements of popular culture, she enjoys incorporating this type of imagery in her artwork. Erin maintains a dedicated commitment to expanding her arts practice by experimenting with new techniques and participating in future collaborative exhibitions.
