Discover Original Art
The paintings we choose to live with become part of our story.
My work explores women, nature and ancestral memory through bold colour, botanical symbolism and layered mixed media.
Drawing from folklore, ancestral memory and our enduring relationship with the natural world, each painting is an invitation to look a little closer.
Built through expressive mark making, texture and hand sewn details, every original is one of one. Created to be lived with, collected and passed on, each piece gathers new stories in the homes it inhabits.
Whether you're drawn to a painting for its colour, its symbolism or something you can't quite explain, I hope it becomes part of your own story.
Artist's Statement
I'm Love Hannington, a contemporary artist based in London.
Through painting and mixed media, I explore women, nature and ancestral memory. My work is deeply rooted in botanical symbolism, folklore and a lifelong fascination with the stories carried through women and the natural world.
I began painting as a child, but committed to my practice in 2017 during a period of profound personal change. Painting became a way of making sense of the world, exploring questions of place within the natural world through colour, texture and symbolism.
Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media, I build each painting through expressive mark making, layered surfaces and hand sewn details. Plants appear throughout my work as symbols of transformation and cultural memory, and Woman's link to Mother Nature. Women become storytellers, carrying histories that stretch beyond a single lifetime.
My artistic practice has been shaped by a deep interest in animism, folklore and ancestral traditions. These influences don't seek to explain the work. Rather, they provide the landscape from which the paintings emerge.
My work has been exhibited at institutions including the National Maritime Museum, Trafalgar Square and Channel 4's Big Breakfast Reboot. I've also delivered talks and workshops for organisations including Somerset House, the Vagina Museum, the National Maritime Museum and North London Yoga Centre.
Alongside my studio practice, I facilitate workshops and conversations exploring creativity, symbolism and our relationship with the natural world. I also co-host the Afro Animist Podcast, where I discuss folklore, spirituality and African diasporic knowledge.
Whether I'm creating a large scale painting or a small original work, my intention remains the same: to make art that invites curiosity, celebrates beauty and honours the stories that connect us across generations.
