early Erin Lofton, late 1990s. Her ancient Goddess / Priestess figures were just starting to emerge before 2000, during a solo RV journey in 1998. The figures really became prominent after living on Maui for 3 years (in a tipi, over a waterfall in Huelo!) and then continued evolving when she returned to the mainland to join a shamanic group she met on the island.
33×33 mixed media on canvas - arcrylic, texture medium, mica, collage, metal ink frame is optional (a few nicks, nice copper hue, lightweight wood)
Story:
The title for this listing is taken from the first line of automatic writing I engraved into the paint: “The Soul Can Learn but Perhaps the Human Being Cannot”
I started my automatic writing, spontaneous & abstract poetry, within my paintings, in the 90s.

Erin Lofton (b. 1964) is a visionary American artist in a unique genre. Her sensual expressionistic paintings are interpretations and explorations of beauty and chaos, dreams and visions. The work she produces are a deep dive into themes of Nature, Romantic Mysticism, and Mythology.
Lofton was born and raised in the Hyde Park Historic District of Chicago. She studied fashion design, painting, and sculpture in the 1980s at Otis Art Institute and Parsons School of Design and Arizona State University. After college, she spent a decade traveling on a solo journey and living in magical destinations like Mount Shasta, Maui, Sedona, Vermont, and high in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Her art was deeply transformed by these experiences.
Artist Statement
I explore the Divine nature of beauty and chaos in life experience and set out to express these observations in my artwork. My paintings honor nature and the old ways with most of the images being a reflection of my own contemplation of the cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth.
