United States
Marc R. Hanson, O.P.A.M. (born 1955) ~ www.marchansonart.com
Having grown up in a military family, Marc’s youth was spent on the move. He was born in Oxnard, California but his geographical resume soon included Alaska, Florida, Arkansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Norway. He studied illustration at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California and currently lives in Tybee Island, GA.
“I have pursued a career as a painter for many years now. Along the way my methods, materials and focus have evolved. A naturalist at heart, the landscape is the perfect vehicle for expressing the joy I have for the world that surrounds me.”
Marc teaches landscape painting workshops locally and nationally. “ I love working with other painters in their pursuit to better their craft. My goal is not to have them assimilate my style and technique, but to teach them how to more closely examine the subject and apply the principles that representational painters must follow to become effective visual communicators.” Marc has shown his work in galleries and museums nationally and internationally since the early 1980’s.
He is a Master Signature Member O.P.A.M., and a Signature Member of P.A.P.S.E.
