I’m Hannah—

an award-winning portraitist. Working out of my studio in Providence, RI, I began making commissioned portraiture nearly a decade ago upon completing my M.F.A. from The New York Academy of Art in 2015. Whether it’s a soulful, commemorative painting, or one filled with symbolism, irony or jest — I’ll work to bring your vision to life. To date, I have painted over 160 commissioned portraits — adorning mantles, hanging above staircases and tucked into reading nooks in the USA and beyond.

I make each painting from photo references using oil paint on canvas, stretched by hand over aluminum stretcher bars, and safely delivered to your doorstep within several months time. Before getting started, we’ll discuss the reference photos, my current lead time, sizing, pricing and shipping. Your commissioned portrait will be executed using an Old Master technique, revealing a person, or pet, that is ennobled, distinctive and rich with spirit.
