Greetings from Sarasota, Florida! My name is Hannah, an artist at heart, born to create. A huge fan of vibrant color, a lover of classic black and white film photography, and a devoted soul to cultivating life's friendships. A painter and photographer, an admirer of vintage fashion, devoted Floridian originally from Indiana, with a ridiculously soft heart for Labrador Retrievers and anything involving water sports or dancing.
A curiosity for discovering new places powers my artistic endeavors behind the lens. Traveling runs in my blood, and capturing the essence behind a town or location feeds my soul's desire to tell a unique story with words and pictures.
Whether sipping espresso overlooking a quaint square in the heart of Paris or balancing precariously on a kitchen chair to photograph a single red rose, I love expressing all the beauty this world offers and experiencing the adventures of solo travel.
The simple yet complex beauty found in a flower, leaf, or butterfly wing constantly inspires me to paint impressionistic renditions from nature.
"Arise and Shine Studios" comes from Isaiah 60:1, "Arise shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." Here's to brightly shining our light, doing what makes us come alive, and living with passion!
Cheers,
Hannah Lee
