The Red Rock Collection Release
The Erin Hanson Gallery presents The Red Rock Show
Wednesday, July 4, 2018
The Erin Hanson Gallery presented Hanson’s newest collection of vibrant paintings on June 16, 2018. Each piece in the Red Rock collection featured bright, bold colors inspired by the National Parks and monuments of Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.
Every painting in The Red Rock Show featured the thick, impasto strokes Erin Hanson is well known for, paired with a brilliant color palette. As you peruse the collection (found here), you will see that each painting creates an intricate landscape filled with detail and beauty, with very few brush strokes. This is a signature element in Hanson’s open impressionism.
Collectors, art enthusiasts, and locals gathered at The Erin Hanson Gallery on the night of The Red Rock Show, filling the space with discussion, laughter, and joy. A subtle, twangy tune seeped its way through the gathering as guests sipped local wine from 2Plank Vineyards. Every aspect of the show was designed to create a memorable experience for all attendees.
Erin Hanson herself met many of the visitors during the show, sharing the experiences behind her paintings, signing her latest art book and participated in in-depth discussions.
Hanson told us, “I love to meet anyone who enjoys art, to talk with them about how they see the world, and to share my vision of the natural beauty that surrounds us.”

ERIN HANSON has been painting in oils since she was 8 years old. As a young artist, she worked at a mural studio creating 40-foot-tall paintings on canvas, while selling art commissions on the side. After getting a degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she was climbing, she decided to paint one painting every week for the rest of her life. She has stuck to that decision ever since, becoming one of the most prolific artists in history. Erin Hanson's style is known as "Open Impressionism" and is now taught in art schools worldwide. With thousands of collectors eagerly anticipating her work and millions of followers online, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of contemporary impressionism.
