Hannah Cole grew up in rural North Devon and has maintained a long affinity with the West Country coast and landscape. Now based in Brighton, she regularly revisits Devon and Cornwall where many of her ideas for paintings of harbour scenes originate. Hannah's paintings evolve from sketches, photos and memories - she loves walking whatever the weather; colours, shapes and ideas are carried back to the studio from walks along coast-paths and through fishing villages. Hannah's work is regularly exhibited in galleries in Devon and Cornwall and the Isle of Wight. She takes part in shows and festivals in and around Sussex and regularly works to commission.
