The exhibit, “Erin Hanson: Landscapes of the West,” will open with a reception and an exclusive Q&A session with the artist herself this evening from 7 to 8:30 PM at the Sears Art Museum, located in the Eccles Fine Arts Center on the Utah Tech campus. This is a rare chance to meet the artist and gain insights into her creative process. The show, which is open to the public and free to attend, will run June 14 through Aug. 23. Sears Art Museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. “Erin Hanson is one of the top artists today painting the American West,” James Peck, director and curator of the Sears Art Museum, said. “Her vibrant canvases range from contemplative to absolutely epic. We’re lucky to have this exclusive, one-of-a-kind exhibition in our gallery this summer.” The collection of 39 works will focus on landscapes from Southern Utah to the Colorado Plateau, including Hanson’s first five works in her signature open impressionistic style.

The unusual red rock spires (hoodoos) add texture to the landscape and catch and reflect the light in interesting ways. This painting was inspired by a recent trip to Bryce Canyon, Arches, and Zion National Parks. Zion National Park, in the winter, is a wonderland of pale snow against dark red rock. This oil painting captures Zion's beautiful color contrasts and textures with thick, impressionistic brush strokes. When you first enter Arches National Park, one of my favorite vistas to paint is immediately to your left-hand side. You can see beautiful fins of red rock sandstone overlapping into the far distance. It is most beautiful at dawn. This painting captures the scene with luscious colors of pink and orange. Arches National Park is one of my favorite national parks to paint. The clean, abstract rock formations make great painting compositions, and the buttery colors of sandstone rock allow me to use the full range of my palette from creamy yellow to butternut orange to vivid purple. This painting captures the famous double arches at Arches National Park. Yellow wildflowers blanket the valley floor in Zion National Park in late summer. This painting captures the first light of dawn striking the Court of the Patriarchs, as seen from the Pa'rus Trail. Thick brush strokes of oil paint laid side by side, without layering, capture the texture and color of the landscape.
