What inspires Hannah Lane to create? “It's just in my bones,” she says. “Nature, travel, people, my spiritual connection to the world around me.”

A working artist for 15 years, Hannah’s work is colorful and alive.

“My work is mixed media so I need to have all the papers, paints and oil pastels ready to work,” she explains. “I start by pigmenting mulberry papers and mixing a color palette for the season. I work in a collage like style layering papers over my initial line work and building the painting that way. I am often listening to an audio book while I work so I can completely zone out into another world and let my imagination flow. It's very relaxing.”
