Erin Bird

Contemporary artist, UK

Erin Bird (b. 1978) is a UK-based American artist known for her innovative process “waterprinting”—a visual language that merges photography and painting through the elemental force of water.

Born to Irish immigrants in Upstate New York, Bird’s work explores transformation, inherited trauma, and memory, creating layered compositions where personal history dissolves and reforms.
