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 nearly 100 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 and in Europe. With no foreseeable end to this project, Fitzpatrick looks forward to adding many new people to her visual network.

With no foreseeable end to her project, she looks forward to adding many more people to her visual network. She runs the award-winning site www.fitzbomb.com
