From the Artist:

My name is Erin Darling and I’m an illustrator in watercolor and ink from Tacoma, WA. I’m a queer Christian, and themes of found family, representation and hopefulness are important to me in my work.

I used to be a homemaker, but when my kids’ dad walked out seven years ago, I went from stay-at-home mom to single mom overnight.

With a 1 year old, a 5 year old, and a hobby in watercolor, I decided to see if I could sell paintings to make ends meet.

I did! And then I did it again and again and again.

Queer Representation is important to me

My Affectionate Animal Series is deeply important to me because it illustrates vintage photographs of real people. Many of the couples featured are queer people from history. It is important to commemorate and celebrate the ways that love has survived across the years, and I think the love in these portraits reaches beyond the LGBT+ community, offering an archetype for loving connection between all types of relationships.

I want my paintings–as well as my stickers and cards and art prints–to be like little seeds of hope.

Seeds of hope to plant in your heart and home so that the joy I had in painting them can flourish into something so much larger than myself.
