Kristina Hanson Artist CV
I am a visual artist who specialises in drawing, painting and printmaking. My inspiration is taken from life, the rhythms of nature and how temporality can be expressed in visual form. I have experience teaching art within community settings including printmaking, and life drawing classes and workshops.
