The Crystal Light Show 2020

The Crystal Light Show was a collection of 16 original oil paintings released in 2020. Hanson used this show to explore the definition of her famous "Crystal Light" series. What is a crystal light painting? Hanson defines it as a painting that captures the crystalline effect of light shining through trees or clouds, refracted outwards in a rainbow effect of light and shadow.
