About Hannah

Growing up in Dorset, I was surrounded by rolling hills and dramatic coastlines which fed my love of drawing from an early age. I graduated with first class honours in Illustration from Falmouth University College in 2007, and have worked as an artist and illustrator since; writing and illustrating my own award winning picture books, as well as on editorial work and commissions for private clients.

I am now West Midlands based, specialising in landscapes, both urban and rural, through ink and watercolour illustration and printmaking. Inspired by mid-century Ladybird illustrators such as SR Badmin and painter and designer Eric Ravilious, my work has a narrative atmosphere, influenced by my affinity for storytelling, ink and the illustrated lens I see the world through.

I am interested in the idea of home, belonging and our connection to the environment we find ourselves in. In an increasingly alarming world I find strength and sanctuary exploring the more immovable and beautiful facets of our shared home. I love to play with the colours found in nature, a cityscape, or a face using layers of paint and meandering line work.

I live with my husband and two children, love hill walking, and enjoy being part of the thriving local art scene where I live. I take on commissions, so please get in touch for a chat if anything that you’ve seen here speaks to you. I aim to really convey the essence of the place, person or moment that you love through my work and aim to create special handmade pieces to be treasured forever. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.
