About the Artist
Erin Noel is an attorney and artist who lives in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada mountains. Her work often finds its source in our felt experience of the surrounding environment and in the resulting ways we shape our physical environment. She is presently working on paper and sculptural work including larger work represented on this site as well as a series of intricate small pieces. Erin welcomes questions and contact regarding her work.
