Mary Ehrin creates paintings, sculptures and other works emphasizing the sensual and the sublime. Her newest body of work features large scale paintings executed in oil, acrylic, gold and velvet, combining both figuration and abstraction in a bold gestural style.

Ehrin’s work has been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Boulder, and Miami, with solo exhibitions at RULE; "Feather Paintings” (1999) “Fabulous Savage” (2002),  and group exhibitions including “Extended Remix” at MCA/Denver (2006), “Retrospectacle," selections from the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum (2003), and "Bad Monkey Island" at the Scope Art Fair, Miami (2002).   A graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder (MFA, 2003) she was named one of the best painters in American graduate schools by Lisa Dennison, Chief Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, in a national competition by The Open Studios Press (2002).

Her first museum solo exhibition will open at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, June 1 through September 1, 2007.
