Affiliated Artist    Gaylen Hansen  A longtime resident of the Palouse country in Eastern Washington, Hansen is recognized as one of the most amusing, intriguing, and challenging artists of the Northwest. Hansen's paintings are informed by his childhood in rural Utah, where the artist developed his keen sense of observation and appreciation of nature. From the Hansen viewpoint, the accepted hierarchy of the world is turned topsy-turvy, and a new found relativity is created among those who inhabit it. At once playful and gripping, Hansen's paintings provide a refreshing and insightful twist to the "tall tale".
