CV/Bio

Born in Aspen, CO in 1981, San Francisco based illustrator Hannah Stouffer endeavors to understand the greatest human conflict and the constant contentions that we all endure.  In her work, feminine decorative embellishments are counterbalanced by macabre motifs, the animal kingdom, and the never-ending pursuit of illustrating explosive emotional transcendence.  Stouffer is best known for the incongruity of intricately executed imagery and shadowy and ethereal themes. Stouffer has maintained a strong presence in the illustration world while simultaneously exhibiting her work as both a commercial and fine artist.  With an extensive international client list and an impressive roster of galleries, Stouffer’s busy schedule necessitates continual artistic evolution.
