Biography
Curriculum Vitae
Ms Hansen's mastery of graphite pencil produces dramatically realistic  
portraits of animals, people and nature. Contrast and textural variation
captures the mood and personality of each portrait. Her style is detailed and
demonstrates a confidence that comes only with mastery of the medium
coupled with an intimate knowledge of her chosen subject matter: animals
and nature. Using a limited palette produces both subtle and dramatic effects
taking her process to its ultimate expression of interest and life.
