Erin Krall is a painter, street photographer and writer based in Austin, Texas.

Krall’s self-taught abstract expressionist work is an immediate, reactive chronicle of the physical land and the internal scenes experienced across it—the surface layers that envelop, and the tectonic emotional reactions below, inextricably linked to the environment, playing out across the same terra firma she photographs.

Her current project, “Valley Cosmos” is a kind of geological survey of Texas creating abstractions of both layers – above and below ground – through evocative, unpredictable, color-heavy paintings alongside black and white images.

In 2022, she released her first photobook, “Live From Boca Grande” which views a 13-year archive of images from the American tropics through the lens of Joan Didion’s fiction set in the region; a copy of which is held by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas.

With a background in journalism, Krall has worked as a reporter and news photographer in New Orleans, as an editorial assistant in Washington, D.C., and as a proofreader and copy editor. She has been published by The Washington Post, Oxford American, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate, Politico, Roads & Kingdoms, Jacobin, Voice of America, among others.
