Care Hanson brings a love of color and an intuitive, playful spirit to abstract expressive painting. Care’s paintings begin with random scribbles on the canvas. She paints without a set destination or plan, relying heavily on intuition and a spirit of ‘just try.’ The canvas is layered and rotated until it rings
true and feels ready for a title (the important final step). She values the creative process as a means of exploration, meditation, and connection.

In addition to acrylics on canvas, Care keeps things fresh with mixed media paintings on recycled box pieces, altered book art journals, nature mandalas, and simple stitching projects. She is a Cleveland native with an art degree from BGSU. She moved with her husband & daughters to Stow in 1993, where the trails & parks continue to inspire her paintings.
