When we asked how social justice interacted with Hannah's life as an artist, this is what she shared with us:
"As an artist, I connect to social justice through the message of my work. For most of my young adult life I have struggled with bipolar disorder, which can make it very hard for me to function on days when it is particularly bad. A mental disorder/disability is not always well understood or accepted by society, so sometimes it's hard for me to voice how I feel. Through my art, which is very colorful and lighthearted, my goal is to express the good days, and to bring a smile to the face of the people who see or purchase my work. I want to remind them that there is light in the world, even when they are mentally struggling. My work also reminds me that even though I struggle so much sometimes I am still able to create, and it makes me so happy to know that! Additionally, I identify as a person of color (I'm Chinese) and I always try to incorporate my culture into my work to share it with the world. I am very inspired by my cultural food and style!"
