Meet Your Instructor: Hanna Smith

Hanna Smith is a Cincinnati-based mixed media artist whose work explores animal painting, denim-based artwork, and large-scale murals. Working across watercolor, colored pencil, acrylic, gouache, fabric paint, and collage, they are especially known for transforming denim through a combination of acrylic painting and fabric heat-setting techniques. Their practice blends fine art with material experimentation, drawing inspiration from texture, craft, and organic forms.

In addition to their studio practice, Hanna Smith is deeply engaged in arts education and community work. They currently work as a Mural Studio Assistant with Christian Dallas and serve as a Teaching Assistant with the Art Academy of Cincinnati in partnership with the Cincinnati Art Museum, and have previously worked as a Teaching Artist with ArtWorks Cincinnati, mentoring young artists and leading public mural projects. Their work has been exhibited at the O Street Museum and Mansion in Washington, DC, and is rooted in a commitment to accessibility, collaboration, and creative learning.
