Biography
Hannah Shillito is a contemporary artist who has lived all over the world including Tokyo, New York, London, Cape Town, the Himalayas and Milan and is now based in Brighton, UK.
A native of the north west of England, Hannah’s love of colour and maximalism is brash, honest and playful and her distinctive personal style emanates joy and vibrancy with its punchy statements and attention-grabbing fluorescence. She exhibits alongside some of the top names in contemporary art such as Grayson Perry, Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst, all over the UK and Ibiza, and has featured in two editions of British Vogue.
Having worn many hats as a freelance writer and photographer, poet, children’s author and teacher, Hannah’s love of words as well as images are brought to life through contrasting and bold colours and compositions. As the artist explains, “A picture tells a thousand words but I like to condense those words and pack a punch.”
Hannah earned a master of arts at Glasgow University studying History of Art alongside Literature and then went on to gain outstanding recognition for her Photography Diploma at Manchester College. Her lifelong love of learning and education is being fulfilled currently with her studies in digital art at Central St Martins, a coveted spot she has dreamed of since she was a little girl.
Her photographic images have been included in the SeeMe global artistic community, with one projected onto a skyscraper in Manhattan and another - from her time backstage at a burlesque club in Milan - exhibited digitally in Le Louvre. She has also designed fabric for a fashion range of women's clothes and accessories.
