Hannah Casey Brogan is an Irish painter.
She has exhibited her work in UK and Ireland as well as internationally in Berlin, Paris, New York, Reykjavik and Kofu City, Japan.
The scale of her work, somewhere between the size of a postcard and an airplane window, proposes an intimate viewing experience. Always mindful of her audience, Hannah creates perspectives that can sometimes challenge the viewers, placing them precariously on a cliff edge or at a safe distance, as if one is looking at the scene through binoculars.
Hannah is currently working on a new series of small-scale landscape paintings and drawings.
