A 10-Year Retrospective of Open Impressionism
Open Impressionism: The Works of Erin Hanson
Sunday, November 26, 2017
Erin Hanson (b. 1981) is one of the most important living Impressionists of our time. This retrospective is the first comprehensive presentation of Hanson’s career. Organized by the Goddard Center for Fine Arts, this exhibition features a selection of never-before exhibited works from her personal collection as well as paintings highlighting her prolific output over the past decade and a half. The exhibition will be on display for the 2018 winter season.
The exhibition includes some of the very first Open Impressionism paintings, as well as several mid-career paintings and B-sides that demonstrate the development and refinement of Open Impressionism. A room will be dedicated to Hanson’s earliest Open Impressionistic paintings, on loan from the artist’s private collection.
Open Impressionism is a new style and movement which has sparked a new enthusiasm for contemporary Impressionism. Erin Hanson’s best-known works include Crystal Light, Field of Blooms and The Path.

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.
