Featured Artist of the Month, Erin Hallett
Erin Hallett is an acrylic artist whose studio, “Lakeside Art”, is based in the Port of Newcastle. Nature serves as her muse, particularly with respect to both subject and the use of colour in her work. She began experimenting with various techniques of acrylic painting as a form of therapy after health issues forced her to retire from a career in nursing. Living close to Lake Ontario has been truly motivational and has inspired her already creative spirit to find new avenues of expression.
