Welcome, my name is Hanna, and I'm an artist from Finland. I specialize in painting portraits with oil colors. I paint people, pets, and wild animals.

I started my artistic career drawing comics and illustrations, and did that exclusively for about ten years. I loved to tell stories, to both children and adults. One day, stories were finished from my mind, but the desire to create beautiful images was still there. My friend inspired me to grab oil paints, and I fell in love with painting right away. Portraits as a subject felt natural to me, and I have rarely even played with the idea of painting something else. In the future everything is possible, but I have a feeling that one lifetime will not be enough to thoroughly explore the possibilities of portrait painting; every painting is a challenge, a lesson, and a journey into the unknown.

You can commission me for a portrait of your furry or furless friend, loved one, etc. Or just take a look & enjoy the artwork here!
