"For over a decade, Erin Hanson has been pioneering and perfecting Open-Impressionism. Inspired by the Impressionists, Hanson harnesses this artistic approach as a means to capture the fleeting beauty of the natural world. Specifically, the California-based artist employs this style to craft paintings inspired by her own experiences exploring America’s wine regions, vast network of National Parks, and other idyllic landscapes across the country.
The subject matter is striking enough on its own, but the way that Hanson treats this iconography is what sets her paintings apart from that of other contemporary Impressionists. Her canvases are characterized by bursts of bright color rendered with expressive brushstrokes and accentuated by outlines reminiscent of stained glass windows or mosaics."
