About The Artist

Portrait of Hanna Emrich

After painting for 37 years, I added mixed media and collage to my repertoire.

The pieces in my work create rhythms and relationships that take on a life of their own. The tactile techniques to shape and lay down the pieces are spontaneous and endlessly satisfying. Rather than controlling a painting medium, I now interact with my materials and let them lead me. Most often, I address the essence of places taken from nature or music to break down the familiar and express my artistic vision.

I have studied with Marise Riddell, Sharon Fishel, Leslie Exton and Thurston Houston through The Corcoran School of Art and Design, and independently with Ann Liu. My prior work experience was 20 years in management consulting and training. I have an Ed.D. degree from The George Washington University.

I currently exhibit at McLean Art Society and Vienna Arts Society venues and compete in regional juried shows.
