Erin Sweeney is an artist living and working in New Hampshire, having completed her MFA in Book Arts and Printmaking at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she was awarded the Elizabeth C. Roberts Prize for Graduate Book Arts. She holds a BFA in sculpture from the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine.

Her current work combines fibers, text, and the book form. She is interested in all forms of building, be it conceptual or physical. Her current work revolves around the concepts and processes of building community and storytelling. Making handmade objects, manipulating space, and utilizing printmaking processes in non-traditional ways are all a part of Sweeney’s vocabulary.

She continues to show work nationally, most recently at Anderson Creative in Canton, Ohio, Bedford Gallery at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, California, Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, Connecticut, and Donna Seager Gallery in San Rafael, California.

Additionally, Sweeney is an instructor, teaching book arts workshops at her Lovely In The Home Press, in Peterborough, NH. She is a member of the NH State Council on the Arts’ Artist Roster, and is available for residencies and workshops.
