Hannah Craig (she/her)

Hello, I'm Hannah and I have a background in fine art and primary and secondary art teaching. I have worked in mainstream education as well as in a emotional and behavioural difficulties school and a children's psychiatric assessment centre. I am interested in recognising and discussing emotions in order to help with mental health.

I love drawing animals and landscapes. I am fascinated by the powerful emotional uplifting effect that being in nature brings. I am a keen swimmer especially sea swimming. I love to see the seals where I stay in Cornwall.

As a pet owner I have reflected on how well humans and pets communicate through body language. I am also amused by how we project human motivations onto animals. I use mixed media mostly pastels and inks and create layers with stencils.
