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