“Vivid Order” – Erin Bolger Welsh

“I have been considering the intersections between the small cellular world mixing with the fast-paced-wiz of life, the brief quiet blink of time I get to make my work and the desire to slow it down. Considering the whirl of planets, imagined stories, tension and pulse of community, the pull pf a six-year-old’s hand and the small, ordered mediation of drawn dots. An attempt to figure out what it LOOKS like to crave order as life throws chaos. The mixed-up spaces between home and classroom, studio, and brain.”

Erin Bolger Welsh is an artist working abstractly in drawing, painting, collage, mosaic, and textile design. She is an art teacher at Bellefonte Area High School and has been teaching art for 21 years. She lives in State College with her two creative kids and bicycle enthusiast husband.
