​

Ever-awed by exquisite craft, Hanna is enamored with formats, lenses and filters as she searches for unique and diverse image-makers whose tales she will share on this website.

Not one to shy away from challenges, the girl who rode to national prominence in the Garyowen dressage competition has now taken up the medieval art of mounted archery-- accurately shooting a bow and arrow from a galloping horse with no hands on the reins. Life is a chromatic ride!
