Canberra-based artist, Eryn Marshall’s work isn’t about polished perfection, it’s a colourful shout at an unexpected reflection.
Eryn’s story is painted in bright colours, and transcends the chaos of an all-consuming eating disorder to find not just recovery but revolution. Dealing with an eating disorder was daunting, but the more Eryn talked about it, the less shame she felt.
Painting opened her up to more people. Now, she shares her art to break the stigma of eating disorders and every sale sees a donation to the Butterfly Foundation.
Art doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be real and Eryn’s art is as real as it gets.
Her latest collection, The Colours Of’, bursts with emotion, each piece reflecting the colours of her past – the ones she sees in her mind. It’s a palette of interpretation that lets us see her unique perspective and the stories she carries that are never black and white.
But Eryn’s story is as unique as it is ordinary. Each piece speaks to the universal moments of connection, change and growth we all experience.
The Colours Of invites you to walk through Eryn’s memories to see life as she does – raw, alive and beautiful – and ask yourself, what colours form your story?
