Woodland Gold – Erin Velez – 18″ x 24″ – Acrylic on Canvas

Erin Velez

I'm a visual artist inspired by nature, movement, and the quiet beauty of everyday life. From childhood—sketching at my grandparents’ table or rummaging through my mom’s craft supplies—art has been a place of peace, magic, and joy. That same sense of wonder still fuels my work today. My paintings live between reality and imagination—where fairytales brush against the natural world, and classical technique meets contemporary emotion. Influenced by the intimacy of Vermeer, the romance of Waterhouse, and the color of Monet, I aim to create art that stirs the soul. Through each piece, I hope to invite you to pause, breathe, and notice the sunlight on the water, the hush of wind through the trees—a quiet reminder of the beauty that’s always been there, waiting to be seen.
