Hanna Wolf
Hanna Wolf is a British-Canadian artist and mother of three, residing on a small farm in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. She received her BA in English from Durham University in 2007 and her MFA in Theatre Directing from Birkbeck in 2009. After moving almost every year of her childhood, Hanna was drawn to photography as a way of exploring the way memory works within the deeply beautiful yet relentless intimacy that comes with the motherhood experience. Her practice involves both analogue and digital photographic techniques, with a strong focus on personal narrative, familial history and self-portraiture.
Alongside her artistic work, Hanna is a researcher, running various projects and studies that explore how professional occupation and caregiving responsibilities interact. Her work aims to uncover practices and strategies for obtaining work/life balance and ways artists can push the boundaries of their practice to include working alongside their children. Most recently, she established The Small Hours, a community hub to help artist-parents develop relationships, share strategies and inspire new ideas for celebrating the value of holding the dual role of parent and artist within Nova Scotia.
