Hanson's exhibition kicks off the museum's 2016 NATIONAL PARKS: UNITING AMERICA: 100 Years on Common Ground event. In honor of our National Parks and Hanson will be also be donating 10% of all exhibition sales towards the preservation of Zion National Park.

The St. George Art Museum is located at 47 East 200 North, St. George, UT 84770.

Already well known for her signature wet-on-wet impasto landscapes, Hanson has long utilized her ability to capture the grandeur, beauty and natural grace of America's protected landscapes to increase interest in our great Nation Parks among impressionist collectors.

The collection includes paintings featuring National Parks such as Arches National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, Zion National Park, Cedar Breaks National Park and Glacier National Park.

A life-long painter, Hanson combined three decades of oil painting talent with her strong sense of adventure into a formidable collection of impressionist paintings. "National Parks are a treasure we can't afford to neglect," stated the petite artist. "My park landscapes are more than artistic expressions: they are an invitation to enjoy, protect and preserve these amazing natural resources for future generations."

The St. George Art Museum, a restored 1930's sugar beet warehouse, is situated in St. George's Historic District. The museum features a number of local events in addition to the year-long National Parks series of events in 2016.
