Erin Hoffman

Erin Hoffman has been involved in the art community since early childhood.  She was first published at age six in a local Fort Wayne, Indiana newspaper, “The Sentinel” for her visual interpretation of “A Sunny Day.”

 

She is currently a full-time tenured art instructor at Muskegon Community College in Muskegon, Michigan teaching Printmaking, Art Appreciation, Drawing, Painting, Figure Drawing, Contemporary Art History and 2-d design.

 She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2001 from the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa and received her Master of Fine Arts degree in 2005 at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.  Both degrees are in printmaking.

 

 In the past few years Erin has done artist residencies at the Skopelos Foundation of the Arts in Skopelos, Greece and at Centrum in Port Townsend, Washington. She has exhibited work in group and solo exhibitions all over the US.

 

      Her work mixes relief printmaking techniques with intaglio, lithography and hand-painted material.  It uses historical and politically themed imagery to examine aspects of contemporary American society.
