Erin Hanson: Alchemist of Color Exhibition
Art Exhibition at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum
Thursday, November 2, 2023
Join art enthusiasts of every kind at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum in Oxnard California for the latest exhibition: Erin Hanson: Alchemist of Color.
This art exhibition showcases coastal and floral oil paintings created in Hanson’s open impressionist style. Each piece bursts with vibrant color and celebrates the contrasts of light and shadow.
All of Erin Hanson’s paintings are created from a limited palette mixed from five pure pigments. The depth of color, delicate gradation, and complexity of technique all go to show how Hanson earned the title of “the alchemist of color.”
Hanson's oil paintings are preplanned, with a palette mixed before the artist lays down her first brushstroke. After this, each stroke is placed precisely, with little to no overlap, resulting in striking color. Nature’s wild beauty is showcased perfectly with this technique, the power of which comes through when one stands in front of these canvases.
Erin Hanson: Alchemist of Color runs from October 5th through December 28th, 2023 at Channel Islands Maritime Museum.
Enjoy this in-depth look with Erin Hanson, the alchemist of color.

About Erin
ERIN HANSON is the creator of Open Impressionism, a new painting style taught in art schools worldwide. Hanson is one of the most prolific artists in history, with over 3,000 oil paintings sold to eager collectors. With millions of followers, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of impressionism, inspiring thousands of other artists to pick up the brush and join her in the Open Impressionism movement.
Hanson began painting in oils at 8 years old. As a teenager, she apprenticed at a mural studio where she worked on 40-foot-long paintings while selling art commissions on the side. After being told it was too hard to make a living as an artist, she got her degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley. Afterward, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she climbed, she returned to her love of painting and began creating one new painting every week.
Twenty years later, Hanson now resides in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, surrounded by beautiful wine country. She gathers inspiration for her paintings from the natural landscape around her, photo safaris abroad, and backpacking through National Parks. She seeks the beautiful colors of the golden hour and captures these colors on her canvases. Her painting studio and art gallery is 18,000 square feet (the length of a football field), and is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday.
