Erin Fostel is a visual artist based in Baltimore, MD. She creates charcoal drawings on paper, depicting the urban landscapes of cities, the wild landscapes of nature, and the private interiors of home.

"What sets Fostel apart from others working in charcoal is the intense vulnerability with which she approaches her work. Every mark and every subtle shade is made with an attention to intimacy." - C. Grimaldis Gallery
