Art and Writing
by Abby Hanneman

For decades, Abby worked primarily in photography, drawn to abstraction, texture, and the quiet discipline of looking closely. Over the years, her creative path has expanded to include writing, painting, and most recently, printmaking—each medium offering a new way to listen, respond, and stay engaged with life.

Rather than pursuing creativity as a destination, Abby approaches it as an ongoing process—one that values presence over performance and evolution over reinvention. This perspective informs both her visual work and her writing, where she reflects on midlife, creative practice, and what it means to remain open and alive across changing seasons.
