untamed + authentic artwork you will want forever
about hanna.
A curious fire sign and eternal optimist, I find beauty in people, places, possessions and faces .
Embracing my creative spirit, I love to do things differently. Painting allows me to express my truest self.
I’ve been an artist at heart my whole life with 35+ years as a hair + makeup artist. It was a home renovation sparked my passion for painting. Frustrated by the lack of affordable, original, edgy art, I decided to create my own. My first piece delighted my family and decorated our walls for years.
When the world paused in 2020, I returned to the easel, rediscovering joy and purpose. With time to explore my creativity, the art flowed and filled my soul with purpose and passion . I pursued inspiration from renowned artists, refining my skills and finding my distinct style.
Now, I create unique artworks that resonate with homeowners seeking edgy design whether that’s muted or bold.
my process
Initially, I simply lose myself to the creative freedom of joyful, no rules painting and enjoy the thrill of chasing beauty in amongst a chaos of colour and shape, it’s meditative + kinda cool.
I follow intuitive nudges, a title may whisper its name or the background music that’s playing will influence my movements and help the visual story unfold.
Not until the true essence of a painting starts to reveal itself in front of me do I begin to paint more consciously, making considered refinements + focusing on detail.
A fondness for street art, old peeling poster walls, concrete and plaster undoubtedly shows up in my work.
I enjoy scratching through paint to reveal hidden fragments of the under layers and may include some stamp, stencil or collage elements to break up the paintings’ surface layer, offering the suggestion a ‘well loved’ and lived-in look.
The things you love to do in your spare time should actually be the things you do full time.
