About Hannah

Born in Ithaca, New York, Hannah migrated slowly west to California, spending
most of her childhood in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a place where literature and the arts
reigned supreme. The daughter of two English professors, she grew up appreciating
the beauty, structure and playfulness of language, all of which she incorporates in
her artwork.

Hannah received her B.A. in Studio Art from the University of Iowa, where she
studied textiles and painting. She went on to receive an M.F.A. from the California
College of the Arts in Textiles and Sculpture and a Post-Master’s Certificate in Art
Therapy from the University of California at Berkeley. 

From fiber art to collage, to oils and pastels, her work involves a wide range of
materials and has been exhibited widely both in the United States and abroad. Her
recent work combines words and images, text and visual art, journal entries and
collage–inspired both by her years of meditation and her long-standing dedication
to writing.
