The Works of Erin Hanson Housed in R.M. Schindler's Van Dekker House
‘Hidden Gem’ by R.M. Schindler in Woodland Hills Restored
Sunday, November 29, 2015
The works of Erin Hanson were showcased in a Los Angeles Daily News article featuring the recently restored R.M. Schindler (1887-1953) designed Van Dekker House. Hanson's expressive impressionistic landscapes can be seen throughout the 1940 landmark house. Schindler is internationally recognized for his modern architectural designs that were sensitive to local conditions, and his work has been the subject of exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture.
"Actor and state Assemblyman Albert Van Dekker, a one-time family man and champion of liberal causes, built it. Al 'Buzz' Bezzerides, a screenwriter of grit whose lonesome characters bore 'a grudge against the world,' nearly ruined it. Now Frank Gamwell, who two years ago bought the landmark Van Dekker House in Woodland Hills designed 76 years ago by modernist architect Rudolph M. Schindler, has restored it." (LA Daily News)
Frank Gamwell, an avid collector of Erin Hanson's original oils, used the modern impressionist's paintings as jewels of color within his architectural masterpiece.

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.
