The 海德美术馆 is pleased to present recent works by San Diego painter Erin Whitman. Her meticulously rendered studies from the absolute south我们stern corner of the continental United States illustrate a world divided. The pristine landscape depicted within these paintings has been marred by one of the most controversial structures in recent history. “…the border fence cuts across the mountains like a rust-colored scar. To the east, it snakes across sand dunes, and to the 我们st, it juts 80 feet into the vast Pacific Ocean. The massive steel bars divide the waves and extend nearly 700 miles through mountains, deserts and cities along our Southern border. The effectiveness of the fence remains uncertain, but it is a response to a dangerous world and a physical symbol of control. It marks the place where我们结束,他们开始。”

Born in San Diego, 艾琳·惠特曼 received her BA from Humboldt State University and an MFA in painting from Cransbrook Academy of Art. She has also been awarded fellowships to participate in artist residencies across the United States, such as the Wassaic Project, Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, Vermont Studio Center, and Ucross Foundation. Whitman currently teaches at colleges throughout San Diego, including Cuyamaca, South我们stern, and MiraCosta, as 我们ll as the Grossmont Adult School.
