Hanna Edwards is an Australian mixed media artist based in Western Australia, originally from country Victoria near the Grampians National Park. Inspired by a lifelong passion for creativity, she paints full time and continues to refine her practice through dedicated studio work and studies with The Milan Art Institute.
Working across mixed media and oil, Hanna creates expressive representational artworks that combine texture, colour and bold mark-making. Each painting begins with an idea before evolving through layered surfaces, expressive marks and written elements that give every piece its own energy and character. Through her work, she explores freedom, self-expression and the courage to choose yourself, encouraging others to stop asking permission and trust their own voice.
