Erin Hilleary
Board Secretary
Erin was born in Nederland and spent her early childhood in Paonia, where she created her first memories of music, art and the way they pervade the culture here. She has since supported herself as a professional artist for twenty years, traveled and lived all over the world, and wrapped every aspect of her life around art. She participated full throttle in major art movements – a gypsy collective of artists fleshing out the surrealist abstract world of our dreams and slathering it all over the streets of our beautiful cities. Erin returned to Paonia in 2017 to live and work as a massage therapist, yoga instructor, artist and mother. Paonia is her favorite place and she feels that the Creative Coalition is a great way for her to support the arts here because it is concerned with funding, substantiating and protecting our creative culture.
