Erin Reinholtz is a fine art painter who uses dancing brushwork and color to explore the passing of time, sunlight, and the everyday beauty of nature.

​

She began her art education as a child and graduated with a BFA in Studio Art and a minor in Psychology from Northern Illinois University, followed by a Master's in Counseling Art Therapy from Adler University in Chicago.

 

Erin worked as an Art Therapist in Illinois and California before moving to Michigan with her husband in 2011. There, Erin opened a portrait photography studio, where she worked part-time for nine years, while raising her four children. As she began painting more and more, the studio was eventually taken over by her paintings. She closed her portrait business and now paints full-time.

 

Erin has exhibited her paintings in many juried and group shows. Her work is part of numerous private collections around North America, and public collections including Corewell Health in Michigan, Buffalo Grove High School in Illinois, and Farm Bureau in Lowell, Michigan.

​

When not painting, she can be found exploring the outdoors, cozied up with a book, or hanging out with her family and pets. She loves bad jokes, good adventures, and deep conversations and tries to live each day with gratitude.
