Erin Mercer

Erin is an artist and illustrator based in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, Canada. She was diagnosed with MODY3 when she was 13 and received a scholarship from the DHF that kickstarted her art career! She now works for animation studios as a storyboard artist and background artist. Her most recent work can be seen in Luna, Chip & Inky: Adventure Rangers Go!, Super Team Canada, and Gisele’s Mashup Adventures, season 2.  Pencil Empire Studio, Erin’s home studio where she moonlights as an illustrator, is slowly growing. Here she illustrates children’s books, greeting card designs, and custom prints by commission. Her dream, other than free insulin for all diabetics, is to illustrate children’s books full-time.
