I'm Eryn Marshall, a Canberra-based artist whose work explores connection, resilience, and the beauty of imperfection through colour and mixed media.

Throughout school I was constantly drawing, often cartooning and referencing images while experimenting with ways to translate what I saw onto paper. After discovering graphite in high school, I became a self-taught realism artist, fascinated by the challenge of replicating shadow, light, and form until a flat page could feel almost alive.

While navigating recovery from an eating disorder, I discovered painting. What began as a therapeutic outlet quickly became the creative turning point that shifted me from hobbyist to artist. Working with colour helped me rebuild confidence and find a new way to express emotions that felt difficult to articulate.

My practice has since expanded across painting, sculpture, installation, mixed media, and live illustration. Alongside my creative work, my background in retail, advertising, and real estate informs a strong focus on storytelling, audience engagement, and marketing strategy.

Through exhibitions such as Envy, Upcycled and Young at Heart, as well as live illustration events, I bring conversations around mental health and eating disorder awareness into a wide range of creative and public spaces. I donate 5% of every sale to the Butterfly Foundation, supporting the organisation that helped me better understand my own experience.

In 2025 I was honoured to be named Canberra Young Business Woman of the Year. At its core, my work is about human connection, creating art that invites people to pause, reflect, and see strength in imperfection.

Messy? Yes. Beautiful? Even more so.
