Eric L Hansen's color images are deeply personal storyboards of his own connections to post-modern American culture. Reviewers have found his work "…distinctive; a new voice, highly conceptual" (Rock Hushka, Tacoma Art Museum), "… compelling, a kind of first-person social anthropology" (Alan Rapp, Chronicle Books), and "… at once fascinating and horrifying… I experience a jumble of emotions" (Jeanne Friscia, San Francisco Cameraworks).

In the last ten years, his work has appeared in more than thirty group shows and solo exhibitions, where he has won numerous awards. Dollhouse was featured in the 2007 spring issue of Eyemazing, the international fine art photography journal. His private collectors include the actress Drew Barrymore; and film and radio producer Margaret Koval.

Eric began making photographs at the age of 12, and while he later studied drawing and painting, photography remains his enduring passion. In junior high school, he worked part time assisting New York’s portraitist J. Stevens Dorsey. In high school he won numerous photography awards. He earned a BFA degree at Newark College of the Arts in creative writing and theatre: acting, directing, stage lighting, set design… the art of telling a story with actors, color, light, shadow and space.
