Erin Hanson was featured on the cover of the March/April 2020 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Her work is now counted amongst famed cover artists such as Norman Rockwell, Richard Sargent, and Andrew Wyeth.
The cover piece, titled Cascade of Tulips, depicts a beautiful landscape in the Pacific Northwest. Spring tulips in Oregon's wine country tumble down the canvas. Each brush stroke brings this vibrant scene to life as the field stretches out toward the horizon.
The Saturday Evening Post was first published in 1821 and has grown to become the most widely circulated weekly magazine in America. "It is a true honor to be part of this historic publication," says the artist.
About Erin
ERIN HANSON has been painting in oils since she was 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 was climbing, she decided to return to her love of painting and create one new painting every week.
She has stuck to that decision, becoming one of the most prolific artists in history, with over 3,000 oil paintings sold to eager collectors. Erin Hanson’s style is known as "Open Impressionism" and is taught in art schools worldwide. 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.
