Since moving to the Adirondacks in 2012, Erin has embraced life in various rural communities, including Jay and Westport, NY, cultivating a profound love and commitment to the region. Now based in Elizabethtown, NY, she enjoys caring for her garden and chickens and immersing herself in ceramics in her home pottery studio.
