Visual artist
Hanna Hedman (born 1980) is a Swedish visual artist known for her imaginative microcosms that take the viewer on a journey through otherworldly landscapes. Hedman was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, where she also completed her education.

Hedman holds a Bachelor of Arts in Silversmithing and Jewellery from Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden (2002-2005), a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Silversmithing and Jewellery from Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand (2005-2006), and a Master of Fine Arts in Silversmithing and Jewellery from Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden (2006-2008). She also studied at the Art Department of Western State College in Colorado, USA (1999-2001).

Hedman's art has been showcased in a multitude of solo exhibitions across the globe. Her recent exhibition, "Omfamna," was held at the Barklund & Co gallery in Stockholm, Sweden in 2021. Additionally, her artwork has been displayed in four exhibitions, including "Becoming Nature" at Ornamentum gallery in both New York and Miami, USA, which took place in 2009, 2013, 2019, and 2021. Other notable solo exhibitions include "Murmurings" at Popeye loves Olive Art Space in Athens, Greece in 2019, and "Capitulos" at Galería Valeria Florescano in Mexico City, Mexico in 2014.

Her works have been also exhibited in numerous group shows, including prestigious venues such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, UK, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, USA, the City of Paris Museum of Modern Art in Paris, France, The Dowse Art Museum in Wellington, New Zealand, Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum in Munich, Germany, the Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, USA, Cooper Hewitt in New York, USA, CODA museum in Apeldoorn, Holland, Nationalmuseum Design in Stockholm, Sweden, and The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo, Norway.

Hedman's art often incorporates natural elements and is deeply connected to the environment in which it is placed, as well as the life around it. Her extensive process involves intuition, repetition, and deep listening that allows for reflection and admiration. She draws inspiration from the nature that surrounds her, and her artwork has grown in synergy with its surroundings. Although she uses her jewellery background and fondness for metalwork as a foundation in her practice, it is the thought process that occurs through her hands and connection to craftsmanship that informs her choices at every stage of the creative process.

Hedman is represented by Ornamentum gallery in Hudson, New York, USA. Her public artworks can be found across Sweden, including "Med risk att försvinna III" at Förskolan Klippan, Rågsved Stockholm Konst (2018) and "Metamorfos" at Förskolan Trollsländan, Kungsbacka kommun, Kungsbacka (2017).

Entering the world of Hanna Hedman is an immersive experience that transports the viewer to a world of fantasy and imagination. Her works are highly sought after and can be found in the collections of several institutions and private collectors worldwide.
