Join us for an Artist Talk with May ON::View Artist-in-Residence Hannah Keats.

Hannah Keats is based in Tallahassee, Florida, where she focuses on creating biomorphic sculptural paintings and installations, inspired by nature and science fiction. Keats recently received her Masters in Fine Art for Studio Art from Florida State University, and is currently diving into her connections with marine ecosystems through sculptural paintings. Keats has been recognized by the Nature Conservancy for her work with shark conservation, and was selected as part of Fresh Squeezed 9 at the Morean Arts Center. She will open her first museum solo exhibition Bradbury Art Museum at Arkansas State University.

During her residency, Keats will build off her current research to create an immersive installation for viewers that fosters dialogue about humanity’s interactions with technology and the natural world. Through a combination of digital printing, collage, laser cutting, and painting, Keats constructs sculptural paintings that mimic the forms of coral and fungi to build immersive environments for viewers which system from her response to the natural world, and aim to create a sense of awe.
