Colourful and subdued, humorous and pensive, the innovative works of Hannah Hardy tread a fantastic line. Her tender and dynamic work explores the magical and natural phenomena. This interest informs her sensitive yet flamboyant varied multimedia studies.
Hannah utilises a range of innovative making methods in her paintings and sculptures. Her vibrant paintings are often created with a mixture of acrylic, spray paint and glitter, and her sculptures with wire and material. Hannah is innovative and experimental in her approach to materials.
Hannah is interested in the duality between the fragile and the bold which feeds into her prize winning innovative work.
Trained in London she exhibits internationally and lives and works in France.
