Introducing Open Impressionism: Vol II, Featuring the Works of Erin Hanson
Click on the image above to view a short video of Erin Hanson personally introducing her new book, Open Impressionism: Volume II.
This hardbound coffee table book is an impressive artistic statement for any art lover's home or office. Open Impressionism Volume II offers 300 pages of sherbet mountains, violet hills, and kaleidoscope skies, as well as insider quotes and artist's statements.
"I have spent my life developing a unique style of painting that I call Open Impressionism. I started painting in oils when I was very young, about 8 years old. My style was actually inspired by rock climbing. I really like using lush, juicy brush strokes that jump off the canvas and really vivid, alive color that captures the emotion I feel when I am outdoors hiking and backpacking."
"You can see the kind of abstract shapes of the paint as they are layered onto the canvas.
"I want my paintings to capture the excitement of the landscapes I have discovered
and give the viewers a sense of peace and escape from ordinary life."
"I actually create my full range of colors using a limited palette. From only 4 or 5 different colors I can create hundreds of different tones and values."
"I hope this book inspires you to bring more color and beauty into your life."

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.
