Meet the Artist: Erin Reinboth

Tell us a bit about yourself, your hobbies, your passions

I’m an abstract artist living on the Victorian Surf Coast of Australia, completely colour obsessed and happiest when I’m covered in paint. I create large scale, expressive colourscapes full of texture and movement. Outside the studio I’m usually hanging with my family, playing at the beach, dancing while I work, dreaming up creative projects, or heading off on little caravan adventures. I’m passionate about colour, community, and making things that spark joy.

Tell us about this design you made for Nakie.

This design is playful, layered and joy packed. It’s built from intuitive marks and colour collisions that feel energetic and a bit nostalgic. I love creating works where your eye can wander and keep discovering little moments. It’s meant to feel uplifting, fun and full of life.

What inspires you to create your Art?

I’m fascinated by the human connection to colour and its transformative quality, so colour is the foundation of my art. I’m inspired by landscapes, memory, family life, and the way colour can instantly shift a mood. I also deeply love to play. Playing with paint and colour and getting lost in the process is my favourite part of creating. I paint intuitively and let the layers lead the way.

Describe your ultimate adventure.

A coastal road trip with my family to a new little nook of Australia we have yet to discover. Swims, snacks, sketching, sunsets, zero rushing, and lots of laughs.

If you were stuck on a deserted island, which Nakie product would you bring?

The hammock for sure. Nap spot, thinking spot, daydream the days away until someone rescues me.
