Erin Van Krimpen
is an intuitive, emerging artist and writer living and working on Gubbi Gubbi Country (Sunshine Coast) in Queensland. Her education and work background is as a lawyer in the not-for-profit sector, with a particular focus on human rights and criminal law.
Erin’s love affair with the tarot began in 2010 after travelling through Kenya and beginning to question the teachings of formal Christianity, with which she had been involved since 2003. She has studied tarot with Lindsay Mack and Beth Maiden, as well as intuition and spirituality more broadly with Meggan Watterson and Elle Steele. She has been reading tarot professionally since 2018 and uses the tarot as a springboard for intuitive wisdom. To read more about her reading style, check out the Ethical Statement on the Book A Session page.
As an artist, Erin’s work is still developing but tends towards capturing her local natural environment and expressing the way in which these make her feel. After quitting high school art in a fit of pique when an oil painting didn’t turn out the way she envisioned it, Erin picked up watercolour in 2021 and hasn’t looked back. Erin is currently a student with Jean Haines and is developing a style that combines loose watercolour techniques with her natural penchant for detail.
Erin's writing has been published in Bide, accepted for publication in Fat Mook and recommended by the Down Under Feminists Carnival more than once. Most recently, her work was published by the up-and-coming feminist theology online journal ‘No Wrong Door’. Her writing explores the way in which structural inequality contributes to disadvantage in society, but she also has a deep and abiding love of feminist theology, and tries to persuade her readers to see an issue in a different light in each piece - whether it's opinion, fiction or poetry.
When she's not working, Erin enjoys yoga, photography and playing with her adorable dog Winston. Erin was the co-host of the short lived but highly acclaimed podcast 'The Anxiety Shut-In Hour' and spends many of her waking hours on the internet.
