Meet the Artist

Hannah grew up in Asheville, North Carolina

before it was Asheville. She always escaped every trauma life served her by watching the skies. A habit she never plans on breaking. Certainly not as long as she’s painting every bird in North America.

Driven by her deep appreciation for nature and our precious limited natural resources Hannah focuses heavily on sustainability in real actionable ways. All of the materials Hannah uses are made in Ohio or at least the US wherever possible.

Hannah began her professional career as a graphic designer. She then transitioned into web development before leaving the corporate world behind to become an artist full time in 2021. Thanks to this entire career worth of experience Hannah is able to make 98% of her products by hand, in house herself.

When you buy from Maltry Creative you are truly buying from a source like no other. Every piece created by Hannah is formed start to finish with great care, skill and intention.
