Saturday, July 13, 2013
The Erin Hanson Gallery Opening was a Roaring Success! Saturday, June 29th marked the official opening of The Erin Hanson Gallery in Glendale, California. Hundreds of Los Angeles art lovers, area locals and Erin Hanson collectors gathered for this celebratory evening.
The 2,000 square foot gallery was packed and the mood was electric, with flowing wine, delectable food donated by Granville Cafe and live musicians rocking out. The crowd favorite was Hanson’s 18-foot, 6-panel painting of the Grand Canyon, which garnered many gasps and effusive reactions. Hanson captured one of this world’s most spectacular panoramas in an altogether breathtaking way.
Hanson, an already popular Los Angeles based artist, found particular pride and joy in watching her fans reactions to the bold colors and magnificent scenery in her paintings. Her work is captured with a wet-on-wet technique that brings landscape painting to an unexpected level, and a few attendees couldn’t help but gingerly touch the paintings to trace the textured branches of a gnarled tree. “My goal as an artist is to bring beauty to the home - when I see my collectors smile from ear to ear I know that I have brought something magical to their lives and there is no greater feeling than that,” says Erin Hanson, lifelong painter and rapidly emerging virtuoso.

ERIN HANSON has been painting in oils since she was 8 years old. As a young artist, she worked at a mural studio creating 40-foot-tall paintings on canvas, while selling art commissions on the side. After getting a degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she was climbing, she decided to paint one painting every week for the rest of her life. She has stuck to that decision ever since, becoming one of the most prolific artists in history. Erin Hanson's style is known as "Open Impressionism" and is now taught in art schools worldwide. With thousands of collectors eagerly anticipating her work and millions of followers online, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of contemporary impressionism.
