Hannah Hurricane Sanchez
Hannah Hurricane Sanchez (b.1988) makes drawings, paintings, and prints. Her work focuses genuinely on being motivated by the search for sensing unseen natural forces, kindness, and supernatural beings. Hannah charters the ubiquity of borders of growing up between Florida and Texas, and her relationship to a land ethic. Collaboration with children is common for the artist.
Hannah’s solo show at Easthampton City Arts+ titled “Long Days, Long Nights, Swim Often” presented a cast of angels, super-heroines, stay-at-home moms, and career women and spoke to the magic and the misunderstood of interconnected, compassionate beings. Hannah was an artist in residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts with Joan Snyder and the Vermont Studio Center. She received a MASS MoCA Match Grant and interned at Zea Mays Printmaking, in Florence, MA, as an intaglio assistant, teacher, and researcher. She recently exhibited at The Contemporary Blue Star and Sala Diaz in San Antonio, TX. She has a B.S. in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation and an MFA in Painting.

Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
Art for me is a way to listen and make from the interior of myself as it mixes with the external world.
I make from a center that connects to being a woman, being a mother, being from many homes, and a being that is curious in the seen and unseen natural forces.
