Lives and works in Byron Bay, NSW, Australia
Hannah Carrick (b. 1988, Australia) is a Byron Bay-based artist known for her exploration of biophilia—the innate connection between humans and nature—and the healing potential of the creative process. Her work invites introspection, often weaving together themes of femininity, emotion, and the body as landscape.
“Creating with my hands is a kind of therapy,” Carrick says. “Painting becomes a place of solitude, healing, and release. Each piece is like a window into warmth, nostalgia, and renewal.”
Carrick’s bold use of color and layered textures—built up then scraped back using oil and mixed media—reflect a process as raw as it is intuitive. For her, painting is a ritual of uncovering, a personal excavation. “To resolve a work, I often need to face what’s buried. Each layer reveals something new about myself—and lets something old go.”
She has exhibited in four solo shows, including at Yeah Nice Gallery (Byron Bay), Rainbow Studios (Sydney) and Saint Cloche (Sydney), and has been featured in group exhibitions across Los Angeles, Paris, and Hong Kong. Her work is represented internationally by Tappan (Los Angeles, CA). Select publications include Harper’s Bazaar and Gourmet Traveller.
STATEMENT
“For me, the process of creating and using my hands generates a sense of healing and solitude. Painting and colour is my therapy, my escapism during darker times. I see my works as little windows of sunshine, nostalgia and inspiration.” - Hannah Carrick
