A professional artist for over 18 years, Erin Leigh is a fine art painter, interior decorator and art teacher in the Western MA area. She operates her art and decorating business out of her home and from her websites www.erinleigh.com, and www.elrdesigns.com . She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from UCONN and is the niece of internationally known artist Nanci Sarisley Costanzo. 

Erin Leigh's artistic development was influenced at an early age by her aunt's drawings and paintings as well as the works of the masters. Reflections of her international travels, her study of Reiki and Native American Feng Shui, plus the art work of various Native American artisans, her college professors and many other artists of today can be seen throughout her work. 

Artistically, Erin is best known, and has received many awards, for her vibrantly colored contemporary paintings exploring realism, impressionism and expressionism. Recent works incorporate a more “green” approach by incorporating non-traditional canvases such as recycled luggage, maps or books. These works also employ both abstract and expressive representational imagery, and incorporates cultural symbols of the ancient world along with sacred geometry. Her newest body of work is centered around the spirit of the horse with their beauty, power and strength expressed through their elegant movements and graceful lines. 

Erin exhibits her work on-line, in local New England establishments and galleries and exhibits extensively in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Her work is in public and private collections throughout the US and England.
