Hannah’s intimate, playful and meditative process is deepened with the organic application of the sand and oil paint mixture onto the canvas
directly with her hands. Likening her process to a moving meditation she is in close contact with her playful inner child. Although her work begins witha vision and concept it often gets gently blown aside during the unfolding of the process.
