Erin Quinn is a sculptor, printmaker, and intersectional environmentalist whose work engages climate grief, ecological memory, and material storytelling. Originally from Oklahoma and now based in Brooklyn, Quinn blends personal history with global urgency— using tactile, interactive forms to reflect on loss, complicity, and the delicate boundaries between play and collapse.

Quinn was named the 2023 Outstanding Senior at Oklahoma State University and received the 2024 Momentum Grant from Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition. They have exhibited in many states across the US, such as Maryland, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Washington. Quinn has completed internships at Universal Limited Art Editions in New York and at Zygote Press in Ohio, and currently is the Sculpture Intern at Anderson Ranch Art Center in Snowmass, Colorado.

Quinn’s practice is rooted in questions rather than answers: What do we do with grief we can’t undo? How do we remember the vanishing? And what happens when childhood awe collides with adult awareness? Their sculptural works are participatory—calling viewers to become physically present in the stakes they might otherwise ignore.
