About
Painter and small business owner Erin Vaughan Richardson has been running her illustration business for over 10 years. She resides in Southern California. She sells her nature-inspired illustrations on her Website + Etsy shop, as well as over a dozen REI Co-Ops stores on the West Coast. She also sells her product in a variety of brick and mortar shops across the country.
Along with selling her printed products, Erin is also available for custom/ freelance projects. She works closely with clients to develop pieces well-tailored to their wishes. Her freelance work has spanned over categories such as custom original paintings, branding, stationary and editorial illustration.
Erin's deep love of the outdoors translates into her vivid and detailed gouache illustrations. For her, painting is a way of exploring memory and recapturing it through the particular language of her hand. It is also a way of preserving the landscape in painted form; giving opportunities for others to experience everything from regional flora to U.S. National Parks.
Erin works out of her home studio with her giant Anatolian Shepherd, Birdie. When she’s not in the studio, Erin gathers much of her inspiration from time spent with her husband Daniel traveling on the West Coast + PNW, hiking, and cycling/gravel biking.
