Ceramicist and illustrator by trade, Hannah McInally’s practice exists in a shifting state, fluctuating between art and design, often bouncing back and forth between the traditional and non-traditional. Through an instinctive approach to making and thematic exploration their work aims to inspire visual engagement and interaction with the audience, whilst still being highly emotive.
And sometimes, they paint chickens.
