Erraid loves painting at night. This is when her creativity flows best. She likes the idea that while others are sleeping, she is awake, exploring themes of dreaming, journeying and
nocturnal environments transforming what she has seen during the day into marks on the
canvas. Her travels around the globe have exposed her to other cities and cultures, the wilderness and the Outback. Erraid considers herself to be a person of many different places.
In turn, this has influenced her painting – almost all her recent paintings are set
at night. To Erraid that timing is significant because it shifts the scene from landscape
towards dreamscape. Her process includes layering and collage, utilising tissue paper and other mixed media elements in many of these pieces. Her exploration of layering evokes her associations with particular places - such as the sensations and memories that accompany these locations.
