Coming from a heavily religious background, symbolism and imagery play important roles in how I view my life and the world. They are places of discovery and connection.Common themes in my work are religion, nature, and haunted moments. Expressing these themes through art is a way of exploring my own experiences and feelings, especially those that are difficult to put into language.As an artist I don't have a set subject matter; instead my content is my style. I approach concepts with monochromatic palettes, bold lines, ink washes, and an intentional feeling of design. Ultimately, my work is about evoking a feeling. The mood, the tone, and the message must be exact. If the feeling is right, then I know a piece is finished.Breana Hanson is an illustrator and studio artist based in Minneapolis, MN.
