E. Coan Fine Art
At the core of my art is a focus on the human experience and our relationship with nature. I believe that art holds the power to reveal universal truths, connecting people through emotions that are both personal and universal. What sets my work apart is my ability to blend traditional artistic practices, like classical painting, with innovative methods and materials. This flexibility allows me to continuously evolve and explore new artistic possibilities. My work reflects this ongoing process of change, rooted deeply in my personal experiences.
​My process always begins with an idea, something sparked by a dream, an experience, or a fleeting moment of inspiration. I spend as much time thinking as I do creating, allowing the concept to take shape before ever touching the canvas. I sketch digitally on my iPad or with pencil, charcoal, and watercolor, sometimes making small studies to explore the composition. I incorporate materials like fabric and paper to build depth and texture, blending them into the painted surface. Every piece I create begins with a strong concept or story, which I believe is essential to forming a human connection, inviting reflection, emotion, and curiosity from the viewer.
