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 Dharug/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.
In 2024, Lange was awarded the Wollumbin Art Award for her work Weaving by the River, which also granted her a two-week residency at the Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio.
