Hannah Cawthorne

I am a painter of bold, colourful paintings and mixed media artworks on canvas and paper. Mostly my work is completely abstract but sometimes elements of landscape or figurative motifs find a way in. My work is very intuitive and my process is to start with no fixed notion of what will develop once I put brush to canvas. The artwork emerges over many sessions- often short but intense bursts of expressive and gestural creativity that can take me almost anywhere!

Thematically I’m interested in expressing the way we all filter the world through our own unique perspectives. As someone who has often felt like an outsider for most of my life, I feel my perspective and thought processes may be considered “weird” by some. But as I’ve got older and become more comfortable in my own skin, I have deliberately chosen to embrace that weirdness – my art is a celebration of difference and being unashamedly yourself. My art is about- a joyful exploration of the strange and wonderful to be found in the everyday.
