About Erin Schuler

Her work combines impressionistic landscape painting with contemporary abstraction, expressive brushwork, and modern composition. Each painting is created to capture more than a view—it is intended to preserve the feeling of a place.

Based in Colorado and inspired by both the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest, Erin works with private collectors, homeowners, interior designers, and hospitality clients to create original artwork for meaningful spaces.

Custom Nature Artwork for Your Space

A custom painting offers something an art print or mass-produced piece cannot: artwork created specifically for you.

Erin creates commissioned landscape paintings based on meaningful places, favorite landscapes, personal photographs, travel memories, mountain homes, and interior design concepts. Each commission is developed collaboratively around the client's story, preferred color palette, desired mood, scale, and space.

Popular commissions include:

  • Large-scale custom mountain paintings

  • Contemporary Colorado landscape paintings

  • Custom artwork inspired by a favorite hiking destination

  • Paintings of family cabins, ranches, and mountain properties

  • Personalized artwork inspired by meaningful travel

  • Modern landscape paintings designed for luxury interiors

  • Statement artwork created to complement an interior designer's concept

Art for Modern Mountain Homes

Erin's paintings are particularly suited to contemporary mountain homes, modern cabins, luxury retreats, and spaces designed around natural materials such as wood, stone, glass, and expansive mountain views.

For large walls, vaulted great rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces, entryways, and other architectural features, Erin can create artwork at a scale and color palette specifically suited to the space.

Commissioning a Painting

The process begins with a conversation about the place, story, space, and feeling you want the artwork to convey. Clients can provide photographs, inspiration images, dimensions, preferred colors, or simply describe what they have in mind.

Erin then develops an original painting specifically for the commission.

Her custom artwork is available to collectors throughout Colorado and the United States, with shipping and delivery options determined by the size and location of the finished work.
