Artist Profile — Hannah Lange
“I am a proud Wiradjuri woman. A self-taught artist telling nature stories through Aboriginal art. I was born and raised in the Blue Mountains on Darug and Gundungurra country. A lot of my art is inspired by the beautiful, unique nature in this area. I aim to capture the little pieces of nature that many may not recognise in their busy lives. I want to tell their stories. The ripples in the sand, the layers in the rocks, the sun, and the moon, and the way they interact with the land.
I try not to limit myself to a particular style; just staying true to who I am as a person, and what feels right for me at the time. Each painting has a story. Art has been used to teach and pass down knowledge in my culture since time immemorial. I feel it’s so important to keep our culture and knowledge alive moving into our future, passing down these traditions to our children. I hope you see and feel the stories I am portraying in my art.”
