Dorothy Hanna creates unique, multilayered monotypes and deeply textured collagraphs. She works very intuitively, exploring the tension between control and spontaneity. The abstract imagery in the prints can be interpreted in many ways and looks to an inner world expressed by feelings, rather than words.

Hanna graduated from Belfast College of Art. She has exhibited widely, highlights include The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, The Royal West of England Academy, the International Original Print Exhibition (prize winner 2018). She is an elected member of the Plymouth Society of Artists and the 21 Group. Her work is held in many private and public collections in the UK and abroad.

Dorothy is a member of the 21 Group. Formed in 1967, the 21 Group of Artists is now one of the longest established groups of exhibiting professional artists in the South West. The group invites its members to produce high quality work that recognises the intelligence of the hand and the embodied wisdom born out of physical making (such as painting, drawing, printmaking) as a means to establish a robust, experiential, and authentic art practice.

The group seeks to evolve and disseminate this counter culture through exhibition and discussion. In order to foster this, and to preserve the opportunity for creative dialogue between its members, it still limits its membership to a maximum of 21 artists. The group aims to mount two or three exhibitions a year, usually held within the South West region.
