Hannah Brown (b.1977 in Salisbury, England) completed her BA Sculpture at Central St Martins in 1999 and her MA at the Royal College of Art in 2006. Brown's work centres on the psychology of the English landscape. She is interested in the status of landscape painting, the use and value of bucolic imagery, and how we interact with the natural environment and bring it into the domestic sphere.
