Hannamari's background studies consist of her formal art education as well as a degree in Art Therapy. Throughout her professional career she has drawn inspiration from coalescing her academic endeavours with being a practicing artist. In addition to spending her formative years in the Far East, she has lived and studied art making in Europe and Canada. Her images integrate a variety of printmaking styles combining simultaneously the precise craftsmanship of traditional intaglio with monotype printing of a more spontaneous and painterly nature. Her imagery is influenced by her Nordic heritage together with a Western iconography of universal storytelling. Hannamari's work has been exhibited internationally, and is included in both public and private collections. She lives and works in Vancouver, BC.
