Hannah brings a unique blend of creativity, education, and cultural experience to the art studio. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, with additional studies at the Alabama School of the Arts and in the Teacher Education Program at the University of Mobile. Her background in behavioral studies allows her to understand how each student learns best, and she specializes in breaking down complex or intimidating concepts into small, encouraging steps tailored to every individual mind.

Hannah’s journey into arts and education has taken her across many disciplines and cultures. During her military service in the U.S. Army, she studied and co-led a foreign language course at the Defense Language Institute, working with Arabic-based handwritten script—a blend of precision, artistry, and communication that continues to influence her teaching style today.

An award-winning artist in graphite and charcoal facial portraits and in watercolor pouring, Hannah has shared her love for the visual and performing arts with learners of all ages. She has taught graphic and visual arts in classroom settings through the Boys and Girls Clubs of Alabama, as well as one-on-one performing arts lessons in piano and voice. Her experience teaching English as a Second Language and completing courses in intercultural and multicultural studies has equipped her to work with a wonderfully diverse range of students and families, meeting each where they are and celebrating their unique backgrounds.

In every lesson, Hannah’s goal is to nurture creativity, curiosity, and confidence—helping students not just make art, but discover the joy in the process.
