Erin Cooney is a visual artist and educator living and working in Los Angeles.

Erin received a BA in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame, studied Graphic Design at Art Center College of Design, and received an MFA from UCLA in Design Media Arts. Erin is Associate Director of UCLA’s Counterforce Lab, which uses art and design to engage with ecological crisis and its ties to environmental injustice.
