Eryn O’Neill
Born in Ottawa, Eryn O’Neill holds a BFA from NSCAD University, and an MFA from the University of Waterloo. She competed her MA at Carleton University in Art and Architectural History and Curatorial Studies.
Her paintings study an urban space in transition through the perspective of a runner. The paintings are the product of months of repetitive outings, in all conditions, to gather enough information, visually and mentally, to create sensory charged paintings suggestive of a figure navigating an urban environment.
Eryn attended the Vermont Studio Centre in 2016 and the Golden Foundation Artist in Residence in March 2019. Her work will be part of a group exhibition in New Berlin, New York in April 2020.
A multiple Ontario Arts Council Grant recipient, and a two time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Award. In 2021 her work was acquired by Global Affairs Canada and the City of Ottawa’s Art Collection .
Eryn lives and works as a full-time artist in Ottawa, with a studio space at the Rectory House in the Byward Market.
