Hannah Garland, BFA

​

Garland is a Cincinnati-based artist whose practice focuses on painting. She is a 2023 Fine Art graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP program.

​

Much of her work explores perception, dysmorphia, and the female figure. Using a diverse palette and expressive palette knife techniques, she transforms the body into richly textured, impasto forms that feel both familiar and uncanny. Her paintings investigate body image, self-perception, and identity, examining the ways internal experience and external appearance intersect. Through these layered, tactile compositions, Garland invites viewers to reconsider the body and its representation, challenging conventional ideas of form, beauty, and embodiment.
