Erin Dunham
(b. 1982, Hamilton, Ontario | Lives and works in Hamilton, Canada)

Erin Dunham is a Canadian abstract expressionist whose richly layered paintings combine sculptural elements with bold emotion. Known for their use of epoxy and mixed media, Erin creates visually dynamic works that reflect themes of identity, cultural tension, and personal resilience. Their paintings appeal to collectors who value emotionally driven artwork that bridges fine art with contemporary relevance.

Their process—marked by layers of acrylic, collage, and epoxy—gives each piece a physical and conceptual depth, making them equally impactful in modern interiors and curated collections. Whether displayed in personal spaces or public settings, Erin’s work invites conversation and introspection.

Rooted in their early experience as a sketch artist at the age of seven, Erin’s art began as a way to manage anxiety and evolved into a powerful, expressive practice. With early training at Dundas Valley School of Art and later at university, they shaped their artistic language around political, cultural, and emotional narratives. Today, their work is both visceral and thought-provoking, combining traditional painting with contemporary materials to speak to modern themes with lasting resonance.

Collectors seeking bold storytelling, tactile surfaces, and artwork that both decorates and challenges will find Erin Dunham’s pieces to be striking additions to any collection.
