ART INSPIRED BY THE PLACES THAT MOVE US

A woman standing outdoors in a desert-like area, holding a skateboard with a mountain design. She is smiling and standing next to an easel displaying a painting of a mountain landscape.

Erin Schuler (previously Oostra) is a contemporary fine artist based in Colorado. Her mountain, ocean, landscape, and abstract paintings are inspired by the beauty and vastness of the natural world.

Through expressive brushwork, layered color, and a contemporary approach to landscape, Erin captures the feeling of standing somewhere wild and beautiful: the stillness of a mountain morning, the movement of the ocean, the expanse of an alpine valley.

Her work is rooted in a love of nature, adventure, travel, and the belief that certain places stay with us long after we leave them.
