Elevating Design Through Art, Nature, and Community
In the sunlit hills of Ellensburg, Washington, artist, designer, and curator Erin Oostra is quietly shaping a movement. Known for her impressionistic paintings of mountains, oceans, and landscapes, Erin isn’t just creating art—she’s inspiring people to reconnect with the natural world, bring that inspiration into their homes, and embrace mindful, intentional living.
Artist Erin Oostra
A New Chapter Rooted in Beauty and Possibility
Erin didn’t grow up in Ellensburg—she moved there seeking a beautiful home, bright skies, and fresh opportunities. What she found instead was a space that allowed her creativity to flourish and a community eager to embrace it. For Erin, design is inseparable from lifestyle: her art, her interiors, and her curation all reflect a return to natural elements, textures, and light, encouraging people to pause, unplug, and breathe.
Her paintings are more than decorative—they’re experiences. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest’s mountains and oceans, Erin uses bold strokes and fluid forms to capture the essence of a place. Her multidisciplinary approach, blending painting, digital collage, and murals, allows her to bring that inspiration into homes and businesses in ways that feel effortless yet intentional.

Rising above the wilderness outside Aspen, Colorado, the Maroon Bells are among the most recognizable and beloved peaks in the Rocky Mountains. Their dramatic ridgelines, rugged valleys, and constantly changing appearance have made this landscape an enduring symbol of the Colorado high country.
This 48 × 24 black-and-white mountain painting captures the Maroon Bells beneath a layer of snow, stripping the landscape down to light, shadow, texture, and form. The monochromatic palette draws attention to the scale of the peaks and the quiet stillness that settles over the mountains as winter begins to take hold.
Inspired by the wild beauty surrounding Aspen and the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, this original Colorado mountain artwork celebrates one of the state’s most iconic landscapes in a timeless, modern way. Created in mixed media and acrylic and finished in a black frame, it brings the rugged character of the Colorado Rockies into the home.

Before the chairlifts, ski runs, mountain homes, and streets of Breckenridge, there were simply the mountains.
Before Breck is a tribute to the wild landscape that defined this corner of Colorado long before it became one of the state’s most iconic mountain towns. Inspired by the peaks of the Tenmile Range surrounding Breckenridge, this green, white, and gray mixed-media painting imagines the landscape untouched, when nothing interrupted the relationship between mountain, forest, and sky.
A shifting sky moves across the painting, reflecting the famously unpredictable weather of the Colorado high country, where sunlight, clouds, and storms can transform the mountains in moments.
This original 48 × 24 Colorado mountain painting celebrates the timeless beauty of Breckenridge, Summit County, and the Rocky Mountains, and the wild landscape that existed long before we came here to ski, explore, build, and call these mountains home.

Inspired by a final hike through the French Alps, The Way Home captures the mountains surrounding La Mer de Glace above Chamonix, France.
The hike came on the last day of a two-month journey, at the threshold between an adventure ending and a new chapter beginning. Standing among ancient ice and towering peaks, the landscape became more than a memory of a place. It became a symbol of returning.
The mountains have always had a way of bringing me home. Through different seasons of life, they have offered adventure, solitude, challenge, and clarity. On this particular day, these were the mountains that pointed me home to Colorado, to the people I love, and to the life waiting for me there.
The Way Home is a reflection on the places that shape us, the journeys that change us, and the landscapes that somehow remind us where we belong.

“Perhaps the mountains rise not to conquer the sky, but to remind us that even the earth carries within it a longing for heaven.”
Where the Earth Reaches Heaven is a collection of nine original mountain paintings, created to live together as one larger statement piece. Each work captures a different peak in black and white, celebrating the individual ridgelines, shadows, and forms that give every mountain its own presence.
Created with textured acrylic and mixed media, the mountains push beyond the traditional boundaries of each composition, giving the collection a sculptural sense of movement and depth. Alternating fields of black and white connect the nine individual landscapes while creating a striking rhythm when displayed together.
Individually framed in natural wood, each 12 x 12 original stands on its own, but together the nine pieces become something greater: a gathering of peaks reaching upward, each different, yet all drawn toward the same sky.
Designed to be displayed as a 3 x 3 installation, this collection brings the quiet strength and timeless beauty of the mountains into a modern home.
