Hanne M - painter

About the Artist

I’m a painter and illustrator drawn to bold color and expressive forms. My work often features sunflowers, trees, and the ocean—symbols of hope, grounding, and emotional renewal. These natural elements reflect what I aim to offer through my art: strength during hardship, calm during chaos, and a visual reminder that growth and beauty are always possible.

I grew up on a small farm, surrounded by animals, flowers, and the rhythms of nature. While my family worked around me, I found joy in planting seeds, caring for animals, and creating with my hands. As a young girl, I spent hours stitching small cross-stitch designs, a few of which were displayed in a shop window in the city—a moment that gave me an early sense of creative pride and possibility.

That quiet creativity continued to grow. In adulthood, I traveled solo through different countries, working along the way and gathering stories, colors, and textures from different cultures. A gift of paints and a book from a friend rekindled my passion for art, and eventually led me to exhibitions, murals, illustration work, and formal studies in design, psychology, and a Master’s degree in Art History.

My body of work includes paintings, murals, children’s book illustrations, and handmade art cards. I’ve shown in exhibitions, completed community mural projects, and received awards for my contributions to the arts. Whether it's a single canvas or a large-scale piece, my aim is always the same: to create visual spaces where people can feel seen, soothed, and strengthened.

Om Kunstneren

Jeg er maler og illustrator med en forkærlighed for stærke farver og udtryksfulde former. Min kunst indeholder ofte solsikker, træer og havet – symboler på håb, forankring og følelsesmæssig fornyelse. Disse naturlige elementer afspejler det, jeg ønsker at formidle gennem min kunst: styrke i svære tider, ro i kaos og en visuel påmindelse om, at vækst og skønhed altid er muligt.

Jeg voksede op på en lille gård, omgivet af dyr, blomster og naturens rytmer. Mens min familie arbejdede omkring mig, fandt jeg glæde i at plante frø, passe dyr og skabe med hænderne. Som lille pige brugte jeg timevis på at brodere små korsstingsmotiver – nogle af dem blev endda udstillet i et butiksvindue i byen – et øjeblik, der tidligt gav mig en følelse af kreativ stolthed og muligheder.

Denne stille kreativitet voksede med årene. Som voksen rejste jeg alene gennem forskellige lande, arbejdede undervejs og samlede historier, farver og teksturer fra mange kulturer. En ven forærede mig en bog og et sæt maling – en gave, der genantændte min passion for kunsten og til sidst førte mig til udstillinger, vægmalerier, illustrationsarbejde og formelle studier i design, psykologi og en kandidatgrad i kunsthistorie.

Mit kunstneriske virke spænder over malerier, vægmalerier, børnebogsillustrationer og håndlavede kunstkort. Jeg har udstillet mine værker, deltaget i fællesskabsprojekter med vægmalerier og modtaget priser for mit bidrag til kunsten. Uanset om det er et enkelt lærred eller et storslået værk, er mit mål altid det samme: at skabe visuelle rum, hvor mennesker kan føle sig set, beroliget og styrket.

and ordinary people realise there is something wrong and wish to change things for the better for everyone and suddenly!!! 

the sun comes out; it is the beginning of spring.  I stand at the open window, a pot of bright, yellow flowers matching the colours of the new spring sun and a slight breeze blows inward the lace curtain, tickling my face; it makes me happy but it is the smell of spring that makes me happier still:  that smell speaks of hope and change, compassion and empathy and people suddenly realise we share this small planet with fellow humans, plants and animals and we  and we and the planet survive together or alone.....

 

So, Hanne, your painting, to me, speaks of hope and renewal.

It is pleasure to know Hanne and I am thrilled to have several of Hanne's paintings in my home.
Her unique style, to me, reflects who she truly is, warm,  loving, generous and kind. She is a precious soul and her art brings beauty, colour, imagination and comfort to our home.
Much gratitude to you dear Hanne.
Very best wishes,

I love the way the light is reflected in the water on the top of the waves. Very effective. The clouds are very good. I love the way you've captured the light in them too. I think this is one of your best. Cathleen

Hanne's landscapes are beautiful. I feel like I stepped into the forest or at the beach when I look at her soulful vibrant paintings. Her paintings of flowers always bring smiles and joy to me. Simona

I see this everyday, still it warms my heart. It changes too, it is at once whole and fragmented. Thank you for this treasure. Rana

Super Hanne jeg har snart aldrig set noget så flot som den væg, hvordan var oplevelsen for dig da du malede det? Ellen

Kære Hanne, så er det skønne billede hængt op. Jeg kan sidde i sofaen og nyde det i fulde drag. Jeg er bare så glad for det, min mand er også begejstret for det, så det er jo bare skønt. Nancy
