ABSTRACT ARTIST - BASED IN PERTH WA

Hana Fry was born in 1986 & grew up living and moving across multiple countries. From Cyprus, the US, Venezuela and the UK before moving to Perth alone at aged 18 to attend university. The move to Perth wasn’t originally a long term plan but Hana fell in love with Perth instantly and has now lived in Perth for longer than any other country and has made it her home.

Hana paints naturally and intuitively and finds constant inspiration from the often very juxtaposed cultures she experienced growing up and her joyful, yet often chaotic life as a mother of two.

Hana graduated from the University of Western Australia in 2008 with a double major in Fine Arts & Philosophy, before moving on to study a Diploma of Education and pursuing work as a Secondary School art teacher. Whilst Hana found that Teaching wasn’t her passion, and she eventually moved into a corporate career, Hana’s passion for creativity has always stood firm and she continued to paint and explore her passions outside of the corporate environment.

Being a Mum of two sons & working part time has taken up most of Hana’s time since 2014. It wasn’t until 2021 that Hana decided to re-launch her career as a professional artist. Hana is regularly commissioned to do artworks for homes and commercial spaces and continues to grow her art practice.

Hana’s art is inspired by her “life of two halves”, and represents the juxtaposition in the cultures of her parents and the countries in which she has lived, as well as the often competing prioritise of family live. Her art is the coming together of the structured and linear with the sweeping free movements of unplanned joy.

Hana creates bold abstract artworks which are instantly recognisable for their soft undertones and competing structured lines and shapes.
