Questions for Erin Hanson 

Q: How long have you been painting?  

Erin Hanson has been painting since she was a young girl.  By age 7, she was painting in watercolors, acrylics, pen and ink.  At age 8, she started studying oils at her school, and at age 10, her father hand-crafted her a pine easel, which she still uses to this day. Always wanting to grow up to be an artist, Erin was very diligent in her studies of painting techniques.  Growing up in a family of musicians, it was second nature for her to understand that "practice makes perfect." When she was a young teenager, she worked for a few years at a mural company, painting giant 40-foot murals in acrylics.  Of course, her style has taken a while to evolve, and it wasn't until 2008 that her painting style consolidated into the loose, colorist, open-impressionist style that it is today.

Q: Where did you go to school?  

Erin Hanson graduated from Delphi Academy in Los Angeles with a semester scholarship to Otis College of Art and Design.  Hanson graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Bioengineering. 

Q: What is Open Impressionism?

Hanson's style of painting, known as Open Impressionism, is the result of over 20 years of painting and experimenting with the medium of oils. Her style has developed through a concatenation of studies and passions, starting with a love of trees and plein-air paintings, working as an acrylic muralist, moving through Japanese painting and comic art, and finally landing on painting rocks (while rock climbing them in Red Rock Canyon for two years.)  The chunky, abstract style that emerged from painting rocks has had the most direct effect on her present-day pieces.

Erin Hanson's style could be called contemporary impressionism, with a hint of abstract expressionism and a dash of plein-air style.  Hanson describes her work as "Open Impressionism," implying that the traditional boundaries of impressionism are being pushed into a new style altogether and also conveying the sense of capturing wide-open space on her canvases.  Erin likes to paint with lots of heavy impasto brushwork, using the texture of the paint to communicate form and movement instead of relying only on color and shape to tell a story.  She paints wet-on-wet with fast, bold strokes without layering or overworking the paint once it has been placed on the canvas. This creates a wonderful spontaneous feel to her paintings.  Her vivid underpaintings create a glow and gleam to her paintings that catch the eye immediately.  Erin Hanson believes that art should be pushing traditional boundaries into something new and exciting, the artists themselves constantly experimenting with new techniques and new ways to capture that elusive beauty called "nature."  An artist should never become comfortable and predictable in his or her style but always be fighting to improve.  Therefore Open Impressionism should be a growing field of new artists pushing the boundaries of taught technique and didacticism. 

Q: Where can I buy Erin Hanson artwork?

There are several ways you can purchase artwork by Erin Hanson.  This website will allow you to purchase original oil paintings and prints using a debit or credit card online securely through Paypal.

The phone number to reach The Erin Hanson Gallery is 503-334-3670. 

Q: Do you charge sales tax?

We charge applicable sales tax rates for all artwork and goods that are shipping to states where we have a sales tax nexus. (These currently include California, Utah, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Pennsylvania.)

Items purchased in other states at an art fair or gallery event will be charged the local sales tax rate for that city, as applicable.  If you purchase a painting that will be shipped to another state not listed above or out of the country, you will not be charged local sales tax.  

Resellers: If you intend to resell the painting, as an interior decorator, for example, you need to provide your reseller's certificate form to be exempt from sales tax.  

Q: How much is artwork shipping?

Shipping to the continental U.S. is about 5% of the artwork cost. This covers the cost of FedEx fees and shipping boxes. We sometimes offer free shipping incentives for domestic deliveries. We custom-make our own heavy-duty artwork shippers using two in-house CNC machines. These boxes are fitted around your artwork to provide the best possible safety during shipping. Large works of art will be shipped in a wooden crate to prevent damage during shipping. We ship via FedEx Ground or FedEx Freight.

We charge a nominal shipping fee for items purchased from our gift shop (books, calendars, and 16x20 paper print rolls.)

If your artwork is shipping internationally, please contact us for a shipping quote, or use the shopping cart checkout page to calculate the cost. All international shipping quotes include all import and export fees and duties. 

Q: What is your return policy?

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Return policy for artwork: We guarantee you will love your Erin Hanson original painting, replica, or print! If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you may return the artwork in its original condition within 30 days of receipt, and we will gladly provide a refund, replacement, or exchange.

Returns or exchanges can be sent to:
The Erin Hanson Gallery
1805 NE Colvin Court
McMinnville, OR 97128

If your print arrives damaged in any way, please email prints@erinhanson.com, and a replacement will be sent to you immediately.

Q: Can I commission an oil painting?

Please contact The Erin Hanson Gallery to inquire about commissions. Erin accepts commissions on projects that interest her. 

Q: How should I hang my painting?

Your painting will arrive framed and ready to hang. There will be a hanging wire already fitted to the back of the painting.  The best way to hang your painting is to use two hooks set about 6-12 inches apart (this helps to keep the painting level.)  Home Depot and other hardware stores sell great picture-hanging hooks (link here) that are cleverly angled so they can support the weight of a painting on a single nail. 

Q: Can I purchase a painting on layaway?

We partner with Affirm to provide financing for original artwork, prints, and replicas. Financing details are available at check-out. 

Erin Hanson has also been offering layaway successfully for many years.  The terms are flexible and can be discussed with the gallery. Usually, we split the total cost of the painting into 6 or 12 payments, and the first monthly payment would be taken as the holding deposit.  If you fall in love with a painting, Erin would love to work with you to make it easy to purchase! Contact: info@erinhanson.com  

Q: What sort of lighting should I have for my painting?

Your painting will look different depending on what lighting you have for it.  Natural ambient light will create a nice feel for your painting during daylight hours, subtly changing as the sun rises and sets during the day.  At night, however, you will be fully reliant on artificial light.  I am sure you have noticed how great paintings look in a gallery setting.  Art galleries will use warm or cool-toned spot lighting to highlight the colors in certain parts of the painting, intensifying the light on the painting's center of attention.  You can imitate this effect in your own home by installing halogen directional spot lighting in the ceiling above your painting. These lights are surprisingly inexpensive to install (an electrician can install them in a few hours), and if you wish you can purchase the fixtures yourself online.  There are many options for low-wattage spotlights and LEDs, as well.  We recommend Soraa LED bulbs, which we have personally tested and use in The Erin Hanson Gallery. 

Many houses are already fitted with some sort of recessed ceiling fixtures.  These can be adapted to directional spot lighting with minor handyman work.  Even without direct lighting on your painting, however, the artwork will still look great with nearby incandescent lighting.  The one thing you want to avoid is hanging your painting behind a hanging chandelier, which will cast a direct glare spot in the middle of the painting, without highlighting the natural colors and texture of the painting.  A light that is angled from above will allow you to experience the thick brushwork, perceive each subtle variation in color, and truly enjoy the painting in a whole new light. 

Q: How do I contact the artist?

Please contact Erin Hanson directly via email, contact@erinhanson.com.  You may also use the contact form on this website.  Unless Erin is backpacking in Zion or rock climbing in Maple Canyon, she will get back to you within a few days. 

Q: Can I buy prints of Erin Hanson artwork?

Erin Hanson offers a wide variety of prints, including state-of-the-art 3D Textured Replicas (available in both open and limited editions), canvas prints / giclees (available framed, stretched, or as a roll), and paper prints (16 x 20"). 

You can purchase prints of Erin Hanson's works on the website here.  

Erin Hanson's 16 x 20" paper prints are available for purchase at her gallery and at most of her outdoor and indoor art festivals and fairs.

Q: What are Textured 3D Replicas? 

Erin Hanson’s new 3D Textured Replicas are the most realistic reproduction of her original oil paintings available. Erin Hanson is the first artist to pioneer and launch state-of-the-art reproductions using German and Swiss 3D mapping and printing science.

Exactly how are Erin's 3D Textured Replicas created?

The Erin Hanson Gallery recently purchased a large-format Cruse scanner that was custom-made for us in Germany. This huge machine takes up an entire room, and it scans paintings face-up, so nothing ever touches the surface of the painting. The scanner creates a detailed 3-D model of the painting using repetitive scans and 5 different angles of light.

The scanner software then creates a 3-dimensional, topographical map of the painting. Next, this 3D model is sliced into very thin layers, only 0.15 mm thick. These slices are then sent to our 3D printer, and the layers are printed using UV-cured ink that slowly builds up texture, micro-layer by micro-layer. After 12 to 15 or more layers, the texture of the print accurately matches the texture of the original oil painting.

There are only two printers in the world that are on the cutting-edge of 3D print technology in the field of fine art reproduction: Canon and SwissQ. Both printers use 7 colors of ink (CMYK plus 3 additional colors) for incredible color reproduction. This ink can be built up layer-by-layer because each layer is instantly cured to a hard finish using UV light. Many layers applied in this way can create textures up to 2 cm tall. Even the texture of the canvas is captured and reproduced in these replicas!

Cruse's business manager Martin Paffrath commented, "While the whole world is talking about the possibilities that the latest technology offers, there is one artist in San Diego who is already doing it. When we first had contact with Erin Hanson, none of us would have thought that she would become a pioneer in printing 3D art reproduction in this short time. We are very proud our Scanner is a part of the workflow used to make such realistic reproductions of her amazing paintings."

How is the texture created?

Unlike other "3D prints" that are on the market right now (which spray clear texture over the print, creating a computerized embellishment over the color layer), Erin Hanson's 3D Textured Replicas have the color printed on top of the texture layer. In other words, the texture layers are built up until there is a white 3D model of the painting. Then, the final layer of full-color ink is applied, which sits on top of the 3D model. A final layer of varnish is added, making the replica look even more like an original oil painting, while also proving a layer of UV protection to the ink.

How is the color created?

Erin Hanson's new scanner captures her original paintings in 48-bit color. For comparison, Photoshop usually processes images in 8-bit color from a Canon 5D digital camera - so the scanner captures 6 times more color information than a high-end SLR camera.

The new, state-of-the-art printers we are using are able to print a much wider color gamut than standard CMYK inkjet printers because they use an additional three colors that allow the printers to reproduce vibrant purples, oranges, and reds.
Here is a comparison of the new scanner images we are capturing (left) vs. the high-res images we were getting before using a Canon 5D Mark III 50-megapixel camera (right), which was Canon's highest resolution SLR camera purchased a year ago.

Will these replicas be limited editions?

We are offering both limited-edition and open-edition replicas of Erin Hanson's paintings. The limited edition replicas are offered in the same framing options we use for her original oil paintings. These prints are limited to an edition of 100, and they are hand-signed and numbered by the artist in gold enamel, and you receive an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity. 

The open edition 3D Textured Replicas are offered in the same frames as our stretched canvas prints.

Which Erin Hanson paintings will be made available as 3D Textured Replicas?

You can see the currently available pieces here. We are only able to offer 3D Textured Replicas for paintings that we have been able to scan. In the future, most of Erin's new paintings will be made available as 3D Textured Replicas.

What sizes are being offered?

Each 3D Textured Replica is offered in the same dimensions as the original oil painting, as well as additional sizes ranging from 25% smaller to 25% larger than the original. 

What frames do you offer for 3D Textured Replicas?

Our 3D Textured Replicas are printed onto Dibond (aluminum panels with a foam core center). Erin recommends framing these pieces in her custom-made "EH Frames," which are the same frames she uses for her original oil paintings. The EH Frame has a 23kt antiqued gold top and dark brown sides with a pebbled texture. We also offer contemporary white or black floater frames, and plein air style frames.

How do these 3D Textured Replicas compare to canvas prints?

Erin is using the same scanner to create a whole new level of quality for her 2D canvas prints. Here is an example of a canvas print that is only printed in 2-dimensions, but as you can see there is a beautiful illusion of texture:

When people see Erin's flat canvas prints in person, the most common response is, "Wow—I thought it was a real painting!"

The new 3D Textured Replicas have the same vibrant color that you see in the 2D canvas prints, but they will be printed onto a 3D model of the painting.

How do the 3D prints compare to original oil paintings?

From a few feet away, Erin's 3D Textured Replicas look almost identical to the original oil painting. With your face up close, you can see the brush strokes aren't as sharp as the real thing, and you can see some of the pixelation of the ink. The original has the genuine painted Erin Hanson signature, while the print has a shiny gold enamel signature and the limited edition number in one corner.

Looking at a print and a painting side by side, the original oil painting glows with internal luminosity and changes constantly depending on the angle and the lighting it is viewed in; the print looks more like an acrylic painting.

An original oil painting is truly a one-of-a-kind creation that has a physical and spiritual connection to the artist. The 3D Textured Replicas cannot capture this essence of an original oil painting, although it is undeniably the closest reproduction that modern technology can offer.

What is the future of 3D printing?

As 3D printing technology continues to advance over the coming years, there may come a time when it becomes impossible to differentiate between a print and an original. There are rumors of a company that has managed to make a 3D replica of a van Gogh painting that has the museum curators stumped when trying to determine which is the print and which is the original.

In looking forward to the future, decades from now, with the possibility of black-market copies that can be passed off as original oil paintings, Erin Hanson is now embedding a tiny RFID chip (Radio Frequency Identification) behind the signature of every original oil painting. Collectors will be able to bring their painting in to The Erin Hanson Gallery to have their paintings scanned and validated as original Erin Hanson paintings.

Will 3D printing affect the value of original oil paintings?

As more and more art lovers purchase 2D canvas prints and 3D textured prints of Erin's work, the original oil paintings will continue to increase in value. Already the price of Erin Hanson's originals has increased exponentially over the past 20 years, and the value of her original oil paintings will continue to increase as more and more fans of impressionism discover Erin's work.

If you are a collector of original artwork yourself, you know the value of original paintings. Making high-quality reproductions widely available to art lovers who cannot afford original paintings will only increase the world's appreciation of fine art, increase the demand for impressionism, and thereby increase the value of Erin Hanson's original oil paintings.

Take the example of "Starry Night" by van Gogh. Which do you think would sell for more at auction, "Starry Night" or the lesser known but still beautiful "View of Arles with Orchards"? Indeed, since millions of prints have been sold of "Starry Night" (not to mention countless umbrellas, cell phone covers, tote bags, shower curtains, and journal covers), "Starry Night" has become one of the most recognizable paintings in existence, and its value is currently estimated at over 100 million dollars. Selling prints of an original increases its notoriety and, therefore, its value. The more people who own a reproduction of a painting, such as Erin's work "The Path," the rarer the original becomes, and the desire and the demand for the original increases radically.

Q: Security and Legal  

Erin Hanson and Red Rock Fine Art, Inc. seek to protect the security of your personal information both online and offline. All credit card transactions are secure. Every on-line order is encrypted and sent through a secure server, using SSL technology to prevent information from being intercepted.

Confidential information such as your credit card number will be used only to fulfill your order. To protect your privacy, we will ask you to enter your credit card number and expiration date each time you place an order with us. This way, even if someone else accesses the account information stored on your computer, they won't be able to use your credit card.

We may use the information you provide in aggregate (non-personally identifiable) form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. We may collect, store or accumulate certain non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of the Site, such as information regarding which of our pages are most popular. We may share or transfer non-personally identifiable information with or to our affiliates, licensees and partners.

If you elect to participate in any promotions, sweepstakes, surveys, questionnaires or other events during your visit to our Site, the rules or terms and conditions for those events may indicate that your personally identifiable information will be shared with third parties. By choosing to participate and submitting your personally identifiable information with respect to such events, you consent to disclosure of your personally identifiable information to such third parties.

E-mail is not encrypted and is not a secure means to transmit credit card numbers. We will only display the last 4 digits of your credit card number on your account.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the information collected on this Site. Our Site may contain links to or from other websites and you should be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of other websites linked to the Site.

Erin Hanson and Red Rock Fine Art, Inc. reserves the right to revise this Privacy Policy in the future by posting changes at this location and we may make changes at any time without notification.
