Hannah was born in England in 1975. She runs a successful business painting commissioned portraits of dogs and horses, but her real passion is wildlife art and conservation.
Hannah is a keen traveller and has completed commissions for clients in France, America, Australia and New Zealand as well as all over the UK. Hannah was awarded the 2006 Society of Wildlife Artists 'Wetlands for Life' Bursary at the Mall Galleries in London. This involved a 12-month project to produce pieces of work for the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
She has volunteered on several conservation projects, including a reef bio-diversity project in Borneo and studied humpback whales in Ecuador. She met her Australian partner in Darwin on a round the world trip in 2005 and is now living in Nightcliff, Darwin where she has been volunteering for the Marine Conservation Society and AusTurtle, two not for profit organisations which work hard to protect Australian marine life.
Hannah aims to use her love for wildlife, art and design to help raise awareness and encourage people to think about the amazing diversity of species that we often take for granted and to promote a public sense of responsibility for these.
