Solo Art Show Opening: Erin Dieguez

Erin Dieguez is a self-taught, mixed media artist who focuses primarily on acrylic painting. Raised in Southern California, she has always been creative and talented, dabbling in many art endeavors, but it was her move to Maui in 2001 that sparked a new focus and passion for her art. Largely inspired by fantasies and rich colors, much of her work has a dreamscape quality, ranging from abstract to surreal. Often using art to integrate her emotions, her work spans from simple meditative color play, to complex layered pieces. She has shown in several group shows at Upcountry Fine Art in Makawao. This is her debut solo show. Erin lives in Haiku and her skilled hands currently sculpt and paint hair as a senior stylist just steps away at Studio20 on S. Market.
