HANNAH LANGE
Hannah Lange is a proud Wiradjuri woman and self-taught artist whose practice is grounded in an intimate dialogue with Country. Born and raised in the Blue Mountains on Darug and Gundungurra land, Lange’s visual language draws deeply from this terrain — its vast bushland, winding rivers, and ancient sandstone escarpments, as well as the subtle textures of bark and soil that hold ancestral memory. Her work explores the ways landscape and identity are intertwined, attuned to both the monumental and the often-overlooked.
Now living and working on Bundjalung Country in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Lange continues to engage with her surroundings through close observation and reverence. Her paintings evoke the quiet power of the natural world, foregrounding the overlooked details that reflect enduring First Nations connections to place. This ongoing exchange between body, spirit, and land is central to her practice, sustaining a lived relationship with culture and kin.
“I am a proud Wiradjuri woman - a self-taught artist telling nature stories through Aboriginal art. I was born and raised in the Blue Mountains on Darug and Gundungurra Country. A lot of my art is inspired by the beautiful, unique nature in this area. I aim to capture the little pieces of nature that many may not recognise in their busy lives. I want to tell their stories. The ripples in the sand, the layers in the rocks, the sun, and the moon, and the way they interact with the land.
I try not to limit myself to a particular style. I stay true to who I am as a person, and what feels right for me at the time. Each painting has a story. Art has been used to teach and pass down knowledge in my culture since time immemorial. I feel it’s so important to keep our culture and knowledge alive moving into our future, passing down these traditions to our children. Each painting has a story. I hope you see and feel the stories I am portraying in my art.” Mandaang Guwu, Hannah
