Hanna is a British-Canadian photographer and mother of three, living on a small farm in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. Her practice is focused on finding roots in memory and motherhood through digital & film.
After moving almost every year of her childhood, Hanna was drawn to photography as a way of exploring the way memory works within the relentless intimacy, tender beauty, and intense loneliness of the early motherhood experience.
As well as being a photographer, Hanna is a researcher, running various projects and studies that explore how professional occupation and caregiving responsibilities interact. Her work aims to uncover practices and strategies for obtaining work/life balance and ways artists can push the boundaries of their practice to include working alongside their children. Most recently, she founded The Small Hours; a new peer support hub for artists in Nova Scotia with caregiving responsibilities.
