Portfolio - Original Oil Paintings by Modern Impressionist Erin Hanson

Borrego Springs is a desert oasis bordered by the San Ysidro Mountains and surrounded by Anza Borrego Desert State Park. It has been made famous for its unusual wildflower "super blooms" that occur a few times every decade. Borrego's vibrant desert beauty has inspired artists to portray a variety of works, from depictions of flora and fauna to the fantastical. Western artists like Ricardo Breceda, Edith A. Purer, and Erin Hanson have all felt the pull of the desert at Borrego. The striking mountain ranges, shaggy desert palms, and stately ocotillos have inspired incredible works, from imaginative sculptures to impressionist paintings.
