Erin Kaczkowski

Using collage as the conceptual and formal structure for her work, Erin Kaczkowski’s current paintings explore broad themes of loss, fragmentation, memory and obfuscation. As a visual artist rooted in a studio-based practice, her work is often an intuitive expression of psychological experiences emerging from the complex relationship we all navigate between photography and reality. She uses materials including resin casts, oil paint, collage and found objects. 

Erin Kaczkowski was born in Milwaukee, WI and studied fine art and social work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2011 she earned an MFA in painting from Yale University. Awards include the Alice Kimball English Traveling Fellowship to the Atacama Desert and residency programs including the Anderson Ranch and the Anderson Center for Interdisciplinary Studies. She is currently a resident artist at Verge Center for the Arts in Sacramento, CA.
