Each painting begins somewhere: a particular light, a place or a moment that drew me in.

I paint in oils, slowly and by hand. Every layer is a decision. I keep going until what I felt standing in that place, that specific light or moment, is somehow present in the paint. I can't always explain when that moment arrives. But I always know.

— Lance Hewison

Welcome to my World

I’m Lance Hewison, a German–American painter drawn to atmosphere, memory, and the quiet emotional weight of a moment.

My work has been exhibited internationally, with shows in San Francisco, New York, London, and Hamburg, and is held in private collections across Europe and North America.

I studied painting at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and later earned my MFA from Chelsea College of Arts in London. But more than anything, my work has evolved through a continuous search for stillness, depth, and presence.

  • We first came across Lance’s work in 2012 and fell in love with one of his early paintings—it has had pride of place in our home ever since. We have collected several more examples of his work both through galleries and directly from Lance. It has been exciting to see how his work has developed over the years, and visitors to our home often ask about his paintings.

  • My partner and I commissioned Lance to create custom paintings for us. We love how the final pieces came out! The two works of art have been hanging in our home for a few years and they always spark great conversations with our guests.

  • We are lucky to own several original pieces by Lance. His work has added a lot of soul to our home, and we're excited to follow his career and continue to collect more peices. They arrived perfectly packaged and ready to hang.
