Piece description from the artist
The Biophilia series arose out of a month long residency at the Mendocino Art Center. Located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the Center is immersed in the natural world. Each day after working in my studio, I'd walk to the cliffs bordering the ocean, studying the flowers, the deep blue of the water and the rich umber shades of the bluffs, All of these found their way into Biophilia, or" love of life".
Hannah Klaus Hunter is an American botanical artist. A native of New York, she spent most of her adult life in northern California until relocating in 2019 to Washington.

A practicing artist since 1983, Hannah currently works in both printmaking and collage. Her pieces involve a range of materials and have been exhibited widely, both in the United States and abroad.

Her work is displayed in clinics at New York University, Kaiser Permanente California and the University of California, Davis.
Hannah’s recent work combines her love of botanical art with words, text and image, journal entries and collage. Committed to creating beauty in an ever changing world, she now lives on Whidbey Island, WA in the Puget Sound, a hot-bed of verdant plant life.
