Erin Krall is a painter, street photographer and writer based in Austin, Texas.
Krall’s self-taught abstract expressionist work is an immediate chronicle of the tectonic emotional landscape below the surface playing out across the same terra firma she photographs.
Her current project “Valley Cosmo(s)” documents life in Texas from both views—above and below ground as a kind of geological survey using evocative, unpredictable color-heavy paintings alongside black-and-white still photographs.
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 for The Lens in New Orleans, as an editorial assistant at the One Campaign in Washington, D.C., and as a proofreader and copy editor. Her words and photographs have been published by The Washington Post, Oxford American, The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate, Politico, Roads & Kingdoms, Jacobin, Voice of America, among others.
