My Story

Let me tell you a story about a girl who never wanted to live a boring life.

Artist’s Bio

Growing up in the cornfields of Indiana five-year-old Erin Kelley looked around and declared “This place is boring” and has tried not to live a boring life ever since. From listening to opera singers belt out a tune one night in London to wandering the streets of Moscow after the football team beat Spain.

Life has been a strange animal ever since.

For many years between these two instances, she studied and worked in theatre, tried to be an English major and slung drinks at way too nice restaurants before finally going back to school for theatre and general studio art at Southern University Carbondale and graduating in May of 2025. Eclectic Moon is her brain child, where you will find all sorts of eccentricities such as earrings made of animal bones to photoshoots of people moonlighting as different characters and maybe even themselves if they fancy.

Enjoy the journey.
