Erin Meads

Erin Meads was born and raised in the greater Salt Lake City, Utah area in 1986. Her work is figurative in nature and is inspired by Golden-Age illustration and early nineteenth century portraiture.

Her education includes a BFA in Illustration from Brigham Young University with additional studies in New York and various locations across the country. She currently works and resides in Utah with her husband and three children. She is influenced by elements of good design including those found in music, dance, sports, nature, family, and her religious faith.

Her adoration of the human figure prompts much of her creative work. “I am grateful for the chance to study the incredible gift that is the human body. I often stand in awe as I observe both the complexities and simplicities that the figure displays, and in reverence, remember whose image it is that I am really seeing. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:26–27).
