Hannah Harvester works in oils and soft pastels and is known both for her rural landscapes and sensitive portraits of children and families. She is also a valued teacher of drawing, pastel painting, and printmaking for adults and children.
Educated at Swarthmore College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, her earlier life as an academic, theater artist, public folklorist, and teacher took her to New Mexico, Poland, Guatemala, North Carolina, and New York’s beautiful North Country. At 28, she answered a lifelong calling to paint and began studying under Kasarian Dane at St. Lawrence University.
Hannah is passionate about doing her part to heal humanity’s broken relationship with the planet through land conservation, planting for wildlife, and raising awareness about eco-grief and anxiety.
While wearing many hats (including that of a clown alter-ego, Margie Mashlanka), Hannah’s life is dedicated to honoring beauty in its many forms and sharing her love of beauty with the world, especially the next generation.
New England-born and raised, Hannah now lives and works in Conway, Massachusetts.
