HANNAH MADEN | ARTIST TEACHER
I’m a multidisciplinary creative with 17 years immersed in the evolving language of visual arts and design. My practice weaves together art direction, design and creative strategy, shaping ideas into meaningful visual experiences that connect, inspire and transform.
​
My work spans digital and analogue worlds: from experimental photography and alternative processes to contemporary digital design and interactive platforms. I thrive on exploring that space where concept meets craft, where hands-on materiality converses with the infinite possibilities of the digital realm.
​
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with a spectrum of creatives: printmakers, photographers, curators, educators and independent artists. From studio floors to gallery walls, from art fairs to community networks, these experiences have grounded my belief in art as a catalyst for connection and collective growth.
​
Beyond making, I am deeply committed to learning and sharing. As a founder, educator and co-creator of artistic communities, I am passionate about nurturing spaces where ideas flow freely, collaboration thrives and creative energy becomes a shared resource for abundance.
Currently based in Accra, Ghana, my work has become increasingly informed by sustainability and cultural dialogue. Living here has sharpened my awareness of the environmental and social responsibilities embedded in artistic practice and inspired me to align my creative process with regenerative, conscious solutions for the future.
​
At the heart of everything I do is curiosity, experimentation, and the joy of discovery, constantly pushing boundaries, embracing imperfections and celebrating the beauty of process as much as outcome.
