Painted Parks by Erin Hanson

2016 marks the National Park Service’s 100th year anniversary! The St. George Art Museum will be kicking off the centennial with Erin Hanson’s Painted Parks, an exhibit of Hanson’s colorful, contemporary impressionistic landscapes of our National Parks.  The exhibit will be hanging from January 16th until May 28th, 2016.

Locals and visitors of Zion National Park and St. George are invited to meet the artist on opening day, January 16th, from 10am to 5pm! 

“I love the intense, saturated colors I see at dawn and sunset, and many of my paintings are re-imagined creations of those times of day. I use vivid colors to excite the imagination, allowing viewers to explore their own experiences and dreams of the wide outdoors. My thick, chunky style of laying on paint strokes has an impressionistic feel that makes you want to reach out and touch the canvas. I want my paintings to be as alive and vibrant as the scenery that inspired them.” – Erin Hanson
