Erin Milan grew up in a small Kansas town. She studied painting at Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles and received a Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in studio art.

Milan’s high realism figurative oil paintings explore desire, nourishment, and loss, and what it feels like to be human. Her work has recently been exhibited at RJD Gallery in New York, the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Abend Gallery, the Salmagundi Club, as well as Suzanne Zahr near Seattle for a solo exhibit.
