Hannah's Story

Hannah McIntyre is an Orlando-based abstract realism artist working in mixed media, with each piece finished in oil. Her work explores emotion —often incorporating animals and water as symbols of transformation, freedom, and forward motion. Each painting is designed to feel like a breath of fresh air: light-filled, expressive, and rooted in hope.

Since beginning her professional practice in 2023, Hannah has quickly established herself through consistent exhibition at art markets and festivals, live painting performances, and her recent gallery debut at Sobo Art Gallery in Winter Garden. Her work has resonated with collectors drawn to both its emotional depth and uplifting presence, leading to a growing base of original and print collectors alike.

 

A defining moment in her career came with the sale of her first original painting, Sound the Trumpet. Purchased by a musician preparing to travel abroad, the piece became more than artwork—it became a personal declaration of purpose and direction. That experience solidified Hannah’s commitment to painting as more than a creative outlet, but as a lifelong career rooted in connection and impact.

Hannah’s process is both intuitive and layered, building each canvas through mixed media before completing it in oil. This approach allows her to capture a sense of movement and depth that mirrors the emotional journeys behind her work. Whether painting live at events or creating in the studio, she is continually drawn to themes of courage, renewal, and becoming.

At its core, Hannah’s work is about connection—between the artist and the collector, the past and the future, struggle and growth. Her paintings invite viewers not to remain where they’ve been, but to move forward with a sense of hope and possibility.

In addition to her studio practice, Hannah continues to teach and is developing a program focused on guiding young artists through her process—from building a canvas to completing a gallery-ready piece.
