"Bringing the Museum to You"

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of three 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Marc Hanson (born 1955 in Oxnard, California).

 

Having grown up in a military family, Marc’s youth was spent on the move. While he was born in California and spent some of his early school years there, his geographical resume soon included Alaska, Florida, Arkansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Norway. After his father’s retirement from the Air Force, Marc’s family settled in the small northern California community of Loomis.

 

Marc began college as a biology major, but soon applied to and was accepted into Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, majoring in illustration. After Art Center and a brief stint as a staff illustrator in Sacramento, California, Marc moved to Minnesota where he lived for 33 years while raising a family and pursuing his art. Marc relocated to Colorado in the Fall of 2012.
 

Marc teaches landscape painting workshops in many locations nationally. He has shown his work in galleries and museums nationally and internationally since the early 1980’s. He is a Signature Member of The Oil Painters of America (O.P.A.). 

 

Marc's works have won many awards, including "Best in Show, 2014" Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters - 'Paint The Park,' Grand Teton Association; "Best Body of Work, 2014,"

 Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters - Rocky Mountain Park ‘Centennial Celebration Plein Air Art Show.'

 

He’s placed four times in The Pastel Journal’s ‘Pastel 100’ competition, and has won an Award of Excellence at the O.P.A. National Exhibit in 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. His work was selected as a Finalist in the International Artist’s Magazine’s 'Art Prize Challenge.' In 2011 Marc’s painting ‘Right or Left’ was awarded Bronze Medal for Painting at the OPA National Exhibition in Coeur d’Alene, ID.

 

Marc's work has been featured in numerous publications, including Southwest Art Magazine - Feature and Cover 2012; Plein Air Magazine - Feature and Cover 2013; American Art Collector 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011; The Artist’s
