Erin McHugh is a Cleveland-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersections of printmaking, drawing, and fiber arts. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Cleveland State University in 2025. Using figural imagery, McHugh examines themes of femininity and self-perception, drawing from her relationships with herself, others, and societal expectations. Her work often juxtaposes soft, traditionally feminine materials with darker, more foreboding elements, translating daunting feelings towards emotional vulnerability and self-care, into physical space and environment.
