About

Hanna Rose was born in regional Victoria. She always had a passion for art and design and as any creative person would know, its not a choice, but an innate need to create.

​

"My primary objective is to paint from emotional memory, channelling my inner child - the most authentic and uninhibited version of my creative self. 

I am particularly interested in how environments make us feel. Specifically, moments and places that bring comfort and how that can imprint on our memory.

I have an obsession with brushstrokes and the compositional tension between colour and texture.

My practice is driven by spontaneity, intuition and the need to work a painting until I feel it is completely harmonious but still challenges the status quo. 

I have studied at length and am naturally drawn to abstract expressionism - it is a language to me. I am strongly influenced by founders Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell and Grace Hartigan and later Phillip Guston."

 

 

She is based in Armadale, Victoria, Australia
