In addition to teaching art, Erinn has continued her art education through classes and mentorship from a local artist over the last nine years. In more recent years she has taken several Byzantine icon workshops taught by Father Elias Rafaj and has found a passion and calling for the ancient art of iconography. Some of the art she loves creating are painting with acrylics, palette knife painting, still life drawing and painting, encaustic art, mono printing, mixed media, and writing Byzantine icons.
Erinn has been homeschooling her four children over the last seven years, and has been enjoying the flexibility to create arts and crafts with them over the years. She and her family attend St. Laurence Catholic Church were she and her husband are coordinators for the altar server ministry and lead a small Christian community group.
