Welcome to aerin.design!

When I was introduced to the process of marbling, I found it mesmerizing and thought how perfectly it captures movement. Then, in the best way possible, I couldn’t unsee it. There were waves everywhere I looked: the clouds floating by, grass blowing in the breeze, ripples in the water, and layers of strata in the earth.

I have developed a process that combines the mediums of eastern ebru marbling and watercolor. I begin by laying down a wash of watercolor for the foundation of the painting, animate the paper’s surface with marbling, then add additional watercolor and details on the surface. Each layer becomes a dialogue between chaos and control - a reflection of the perpetual flux of the world around us. I find that this process mimics the balance between embracing the chaos of life and seeking control amidst its ever-changing currents.
