Nevada's Valley of Fire is so named because of the vibrant red Aztec sandstone prominences nestled on the brown and gray limestone floor, which look like plumes of fire when illuminated during sunrise or sunset. These brilliantly hued red rocks are a sight to behold and have inspired western artists like Thomas Moran, Maynard Dixon, R. Brownell McGrew, and Erin Hanson. Hanson's impressionist paintings have captured the beauty, abstraction, and vibrant color found throughout the valley. She paints notable landmarks like Seven Sisters and Balanced Rock, as well as less-known but equally beautiful scenes found throughout Valley of Fire.
