Hope Hanes

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Hope Hanes has lived and worked in western Loudoun County, Virginia as an artist, arts advocate and teacher for over twenty years. She has a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, where she focused on painting and printmaking, and eventually earned her MAT in Museum Education from George Washington University. Over the years, she gradually returned to her love of pastels, the medium well-suited to the expression of her artistic vision while being deeply satisfying in its physicality.
