⭐️ ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ⭐️

Meet our Resident Artist, Erin Harmon 🫶🏻

Erin’s work as a scientist, artist and educator helps to build bridges between science and art, both of which are practices that she believes should be accessible to everyone. Erin creates coloring books that incorporate fantasy and science into images that remind us that humans are animals with the same primal powers and weaknesses as any other animal. As a meticulous scientist, Erin practices and teaches science illustration. She also paints, makes block prints on paper and fabric, uses Claybord, and is enthusiastic about discovering new media. Erin hosts a coloring party every First Friday and will be teaching Science Illustration classes beginning in October of 2026.

Visit Erin at our downtown gallery, witness the awesome, and color on site or take home your own “Color Me Primal” coloring page!!
