I’m a Canberra based artist whose goal is to use my business as a platform for both creativity and education. I aim to use my art as a tool for social change by starting the conversation about eating disorders and help break down the stigma surrounding them.
ABOUT
“Art is life, and life is messy. I know it, I live it and I paint it.”
Canberra-based artist, Eryn Marshall’s work isn’t about polished perfection… it’s a colourful shout at an unexpected reflection.
Eryn’s story is painted in bright colours, and it’s a tale that transcends the chaos of an all-consuming eating disorder to find not just recovery but revolution.
Dealing with an eating disorder was at first daunting. But the more people Eryn opened up to about her struggle, the less shame she felt. Painting opened her up to a wider audience and her brush became a bridge back to herself, with each stroke pulling her closer to those around her.
Healing is possible and awareness matters. Exploration of colour helped Eryn rediscover the optimism that’s everywhere around us if we just look for it. Now, she shares her experience through her art to break the stigma of eating disorders and encourage understanding.
“There’s colour, and there’s more colour. And somewhere in there is the truth.”
She takes the raw and the real – the bits people try to hide – and turns them into art that pops, art that smiles, art that screams… “hope wins!”
Eryn is all about spreading hope. It’s art with a cause where every sale sees a donation to the Butterfly Foundation and inspires resilience in those who have ever felt less than enough.
Art doesn’t need to be perfect to mean something, it just needs to be real, and Eryn’s art is as real as it gets.
Messy? Yes. Beautiful? Even more so.
