About the Artist

Why "SEH"? I'm Susan E. Hanna and I sign my work as "SEH."

SEH Studios work includes landscapes, seascapes, and portraits of people and homes. I’ve painted some intimate garden scenes as well. I enjoy painting en plein air (outdoors). Currently, I live and paint in Southern New Hampshire. I love to paint the local orchards, the sea coast, a lovely house, or anything else I find beautiful.

Recently, I began exploring still life painting. The local fruit orchards and winery provide abundant inspiration.

How you became interested in art:

I began working with oils around the age of ten years. I had always drawn and mom put me in a class at the local Y. Painting eventually fell by the wayside as I juggled motherhood and work and became more craft-oriented. Now that my children are grown and moved away, I’ve found both the time and the inclination to recapture the magic of creating fine art. I have a “real job” but oil painting is my real love.

Since I began to paint again over the last ten years or so, friends and associates have encouraged me to share my work publicly. My goal is to gain a wider fan base, allowing me to sell more work, thus giving me more space to store the newer work! I can see myself sitting in a pointy-topped white tent in a park even after my hair turns the same color as the tent.

Art associations, galleries, exhibits:

I belong to the Greater Salem Artists Association, the New Hampshire Plein Air group, the Londonderry Arts Council and the Seacoast Artists Association. Please check out my Events page on this website for shows and exhibits.
