I received my BA from Ohio University. I was lucky enough to dive into my studio art classes with some of the best artists around (OK, I may be a little biased but really; best artists, PERIOD). The faculty at OU thrived on making their mini artists question, critique, lose their mind, & question their art some more. Until they felt that they may truly die from lack of conceptual ideas, much less the manifestation of these ‘ideas’. I graduated in 2011, with a handful of paintings that were good enough to throw on a website. I’ve spent my time since college focusing less on conceptual ideas & more on the materials in hand. While discovering what my materials can do for me, I find myself never being able to fight the urge to add more color & texture. I’ve given up on fighting this urge and now embrace it. I continue to find new ways to manipulate the paint & manifest my ideas. I encourage you to take notice to the variation in color, value, texture & movement in my art. These paintings are simply abstractions of everyday life, feelings & concerns. They’re inspired by my surroundings & are focused far more on the materials than the message.

Esty Shop in the making... :)

Happy Monday folks!

Why am I so chirpy and happy on this Monday morning do you ask?

WELL, pretty simple-I am one step closer to opening my Etsy Site. I am so very excited about this endeavor. I have photographed all my paintings, and plan on selling framed, matted prints of all of them ranging from sizes 5x7 up to 16x20-maybe larger-depending, and I also plan on selling canvas prints. I will keep you updated as we get closer to March 5th. This is a very special day for me because it's the Esty Shop's GRAND OPENING!

I need to send a special THANK YOU! To my brother-in-law for photographing my paintings. You, my friend, have earned yourself a couple free prints (and some free babysitting)! :)

I am also taking Esty Shop name suggestions: get those creative juices flowing-if I use your name you earn yourself a free print (8x12) as well! I will be sending in images to the print lab in the next couple weeks.

Email me at brittany.ann.hahn@gmail.com with name suggestions!
My only requirement is that it contains my name somewhere... Brittany or Hahn, doesn't need both.

Peace, Love, & ART!
