City & Guilds of London Art School
Hannah was born in Horsham, West Sussex, England, in 1976. She has always loved sculpture and was keen to study at a school where she could learn the traditional skills of modelling and casting. After a foundation course in conservation and restoration Hannah completed a three year course at the City & Guilds of London Art School, where they valued working from a model and taught the roots of sculpture.

Awards
After graduating in July 1998, Hannah went on to win a succession of awards for her work, including second prize in the Sefton Open Exhibition 1998; the Major Award from the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts for her sculpture Consider in 1999; and the Alec Tiranti Prize for Young Portrait Sculptors in 2000. The recognition she received after the Alec Tiranti Prize led her to be interviewed by The Times for the Great British Hopes column.

Public Commissions
2001 saw the completion of a human-sized commission of the Saint Leonard's Forest Dragon in bronze, for Horsham Park, West Sussex. Due to the success of this piece Hannah was also commissioned by Miller Construction (in connection with Horsham District Council) to create a large Bronze Dinosaur on a sculpted brick plinth as part of the redevelopment of Southwater, West Sussex. This over three metre long dinosaur was unveiled in December 2006. Both sculptures are very popular and much loved by local people.

Exhibiting
Hannah exhibits her work at a variety of London galleries and art fairs including  The Affordable Art Fair in Battersea, Will's Art Warehouse in Fulham, The McHardy Sculpture Company near Tower Bridge and Carina Haslem Art, Fulham. Since moving out of London, Hannah's work has become a regular feature of the Arundel Gallery Trail. She has also had a solo show at the Worthing Museum and Art Gallery. Much of her work can be seen at her studio in Sussex at which she holds an annual show.
