Hello, I'm Erin Askew.

Erin Askew’s work examines boundaries—those we set for ourselves and those imposed upon us—questioning who defines them and what drives their existence. Her art weaves together historical narratives and contemporary issues​,​ offering a reflective exploration of work-life balance​,​ marriage​,​ health​,​ and personal autonomy. Inspired by the pioneering women of Abstract Expressionism​,​ Askew channels their resilience and determination to spark meaningful conversations. As societal expectations and personal limitations continue to evolve​,​ her work encourages dialogue and introspection. Askew has exhibited her work in both Canada and the US. Erin Askew is a painter originally from Toronto​,​ Canada​,​ who now resides in the mountains of Northern California. She holds a BFA with honors in Studio from the University of Western Ontario. For the past million years​,​ Askew has worked as a graphic designer and creative director for large international brands. After a hiatus from fine art​,​ she has returned with renewed passion​,​ a fresh perspective​,​ and more to say.
