Erin Hanson's Painted Parks at the St. George Art Museum
National Park Service's Centennial Celebration in Art
Thursday, January 14, 2016
“And this, our life exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees,
books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”
William Shakespeare
"This collection of oil paintings is drawn exclusively from rock climbing,
hiking, and backpacking trips I have done throughout the Western states.
I plan several trips every year to explore and re-explore my favorite parks,
including Joshua Tree, Zion, Bryce, Cedar Breaks, Canyon de Chelly,
Monument Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, and all the beautiful Parks in between.
No matter how many times I have been to a park, when I wake up in the campground
or in a bivy sack in a backcountry camping spot, I feel a complete
sense of joy and overwhelming awe of my surroundings.
I get back from each trip with thousands of photos that I use to try to
re-capture these moments of peace and beauty on the canvas."

"I have always considered landscapes to be the most beautiful thing
I could paint, from stark mountain peaks to dramatic canyons to sunlight
glittering through trees. Exploring these landscapes for a few days’
backpacking or camping trip would be something I would plan for months
in advance, and as soon as it was over I would
eagerly begin planning the next escape."
Erin Hanson
"I have always enjoyed the physical exertion that let me attain amazing
mountain heights and views that only the most adventurous could achieve."

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.
