My name is Amy Hann and I am an illustrator from Cardiff.

I am interested in storytelling and craft. I love to experiment and play with different materials from textile to ceramic, but mostly my practice comes from my love of drawing and what it can do for self-expressions and connection with others.

I am interested in themes of intentity, nature and poetry while staying playful.

This project I have set out to broaden my practice while developing a method of working. I have done this through my exploration of materials and the infomation and research I gather in my sketchbook
from the world around me. I love to take inspiration from my own musings and observations and to tell a story through visualising how I feel.
