Winter/Spring 2026

Canal at Night, East London by Hannah Woodman

January saw me busy preparing for the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours’ annual exhibition which duly went on show in March at the Mall Galleries, London, and I was delighted to be the recipient of The Baohong Artists’ Watercolour Paper Prize for my piece ‘Canal at Night, East London’. Canal at Night, East London.…

Autumn/Winter 2025

September and October see autumn’s palette arrive and in harmony with this I’m delighted to release Volume II of my limited edition hardback book of sketches. Drenched in an orange-ochre cover reminiscent of the falling leaves, the book features my travels into the landscapes and seascapes of Devon and Cornwall. Sketching continues to be my…

Spring/Summer 2025

This year has seen another enjoyable exhibition and teaching opportunity with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. The RI’s annual exhibition was held at the Mall Galleries in April and as a new member I was delighted to show 4 works from my latest collection. The show included over 450 pieces with a huge…

Spring 2023

It seems to have been a crushingly long Winter for some reason – all the dark nights, chilly days and endlessly grey light that permeate the psyche with a sense of flatness have run concurrently for far too long. Not that I haven’t found stimulation in this heavy season, which traditionally brings out my love…

Winter 2022-3

Unusually I’ve been painting daily throughout the winter, which reminded me how challenging it is to work in low light and a freezing studio – back to the old student days! At the time of writing I’m excited to say I have a piece showing in the Royal Society of British Artists’ Annual Open Exhibition…

Autumn 2022

After relocating to Devon and starting building work that’s taken the best part of the year, 2022 hasn’t been the most productive work wise (it’s hard to paint when your studio has become a furniture store!). However, part of the thinking was to link the studio with my home to provide greater showing/exhibiting possibilities beyond…

Winter 2021 – 22

After a very successful Summer solo exhibition, I took the opportunity to mix art with socialising by holding a lovely Christmas Open Studio event in December. I particularly enjoyed showing some of my new watercolour and gouache pieces, which are starting to inform my larger works and oil paintings. I’m excited at the opportunity to…

Hannah Woodman: Quiet Spaces, August 26th – September 5th Grays Wharf, Penryn 2021

My largest solo exhibition to date brings together over forty paintings, drawings and sketches recorded during the past 2 years to reflect the newly deserted spaces of lockdown and offer up a sense of our changing environment. I’m delighted to be holding the show at Grays Wharf, Penryn, the studio complex I co-founded in 2017,…

Exhibition News 2021

Following on from last year’s disappointingly timed lockdown, I’ve decided to give my 2020 collection another airing alongside the work I’ve produced in 2021. This has culminated in a rather larger than anticipated exhibition that will be taking place at my Cornwall studio complex Grays Wharf, spanning both the lovely light-filled ground floor gallery and…
