Erin is a freelance illustrator living and working in Brighton. I grew up in Gosport and my family still live there. . During the winter lockdown I moved back to my parents house and my work became all about Gosport. Documenting the buildings and places which were so familiar to me I saw everything with fresh eyes and Gosport featured heavily in my final pieces. . I like to play with scale, making tiny objects and then drawing them into imagined spaces; this bases the environments in reality and gives them a familiarity, yet also creates a surreal almost uncanny feel.
