Portfolio - Original Oil Paintings by Modern Impressionist Erin Hanson

Discover the beauty of the California desert through the eyes of Erin Hanson. Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave Desert have been lifelong inspirations for Erin. She grew up among the Joshua Trees and sandy desert of southern California's high desert and later became an avid rock climber. Watching endless sunrises and sunsets over the stark, mountainous landscape gave the artist an appreciation for the depths of color that can be found in the desert, and her desert paintings often have surprising pops of purple, blue, and orange. She also loves painting the wildflower super blooms that appear in desert landscapes like Borrego Springs and Death Valley. You don't have to wait for a super bloom to see the desert ocotillo in bloom -- their bird-like red blooms have captured Erin's imagination for decades. You will also see many iconic, desert palm tree paintings in this collection.
