		Erin Schroeder was born in Los Angeles, CA.  She then sauntered up and down the west coast from San Diego to Portland developing her unique expressions. Erin currently splits her time between San Francisco and Oakland creating her art full time. My approach is to mash, to juxtapose, to entangle things that normally clash when placed together on a canvas or in reality.  I do it in my mediums by combining acrylic paint with charcoal drawings, ink and watercolor and collage in one piece.   Mixing traditional drawings with unorthodox elements, captures conflict in my subject matter by merging  the fantasy with reality. This is also seen in my portfolio as multi-faceted as my life; ranging from the Innocence of Children's book Illustration to the provocative grown up Fine Art to the wild world of Rock -n- Roll.
