Hannah Anderson
American born abstract artist, Hannah Anderson (1953) was born into the neutral pallet of
Quaker simplicity. Following her heart's passion for creativity began in secret as a child,
remaining hidden until 1990 with the purchase of a Crayon watercolor set that led her back to her original love of painting. The fulness of her work was revealed in 2024 after decades of active gestation.
She is self-taught, drawn to contemporary artists whose expression of authenticity and
freedom remind her to trust her own process. The dance of light and dark periods in her life inform her painting to engage the full spectrum and possibility of luminous color. Hannah sees the world through the artist eyes of a mother, Episcopal priest, grandmother, and lover of life. She paints what her soul sees, often using abstract shape and representation as an invitation to see a deeper, different world. Elements of nature and pattern influence her strong graphic designs. Hannah’s work is intuitive and full of archetypal symbols that arise from within universal healing traditions including Christianity and Shamanism. She delights in playful mystery.
Hannah is delighted to be exhibiting her work at Crossroads Art Center. This body of work
explores the liminal space between worlds, places, people and relationships. Enjoy!
Hannah resides in Richmond, Virginia. She travels to Taos, New Mexico for inspiration and
solitude. Her artistic mentor is Bob Burridge, abstract artist from Arroyo Grande, CA. with
whom she now studies.
