Welcome to Hanna's Worldwide Gallery! Please read my first blog, which is Hanna’s Invitation, (Become my Art Advocate!) to all the people, past, present, and future, who love my art and get meaning, enjoyment, and energy from it. Also definitely read blog 9 which is my newest idea about how to share my art by donation! Feel free to share this blog/flyer with others and help spread the love and presence in my art! Also, I invite you to read my other Art Blogs in which I explore the challenges of sharing my art in exactly the way that feels right to me, and about my creative process and other musings about art. Ask to be put on my email list so you will be the first to read any new blogs I’ve written, and to find out when I have added new art to the website or am doing the occasional free art Giveaway! Lastly, I would love for you to write your comments in the Guestbook or email me and share your thoughts about my art and the art blogs. Thank you!
