Erin Fitzpatrick


About

Erin Fitzpatrick, graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, began her current series of portraits in mid 2008. Originally entitled Baltimore Portrait, this body of work now contains over 130 paintings and drawings of notable artists, musicians, business people, and Fitzpatrick’s peers. She views this project as “people collecting,” as it is as much about meeting and documenting new subjects, as it is about the paintings themselves. Exhibiting extensively in solo and group shows, she has gained collectors throughout the United States, in Europe, and Asia. With no foreseeable end to this project, Fitzpatrick looks forward to adding many new people to her visual network.

She runs the award-winning site www.fitzbomb.com

When Erin is not in her studio she is probably somewhere by a pool, reading so many books, getting a fake tan, listening to rap music or the Rolling Stones, traveling, watching/listening to/talking about baseball, and/or all of the above.

Events & Exhibitions

Events

I am excited to be able to share my portraits with the thousands of people who pass through Baltimore for the 2013 Maryland Film Festival. Exhibited in the festival's hub, The Charles Theater, my paintings will be seen by both moviegoers and those behind the films.

Later in the year (September/October) I will be revealing a brand new body of work in a solo exhibit tentatively titled, Welcome To The Jungle. These new, larger paintings will feature my models in staged settings of summer, lush palms and pools. Taking my inspiration from fashion spreads and some of my favorite activities, I question anonymity in the art of the portrait. Read More
