Introduction to the Artist

About Me

About Me - hannah-bruce@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you for taking the time to look at my website.

My name is Hannah Bruce. I am a professional and award winning artist from Woking, Surrey, England.

Since 2013, I have been creating original artwork from my home studio in a range of mediums, primarily oils, resin, ink and pastels and I sell my work all over the world. If you are interested in commissioning me to create something specifically for you then please do let me know.
