Hello, I'm Hannah. I live on the North Cornwall coast and I paint intense, atmospheric and playful oil paintings; specialising in individual portraits, family gatherings, friendship groups and occasionally animal portraits.
My work reflects the unique perspective shaped by my rural childhood in the Westcountry, and teenage years living completely off-grid, where growing up by candlelight and a 'back to basics' lifestyle had a profound influence on my art.
I previously worked with private clients in Zurich and Bern for five years using portraits in conjunction with therapy. I explore emotional intimacy and the subtlety of making personal connections. By removing people from their modern surroundings and placing them into a darker setting, these characters raise and answer questions through composition, narrative, and symbolism without the context of time or place.
I have been self employed as an artist since 2012, while raising a family. I have exhibited in Switzerland, France, Cornwall, Devon and at Castle Fine Art in Mayfair, at the London Invitational in 2022.
