Shan Bryan-Hanson is an art instructor at St. Norbert College, also serving as director and curator of art galleries and collections. Her courses focus on studio practice and methods, grounded in the belief that time working in the studio is key to growing as an artist. She values the art galleries as an extension of the studio and art history classrooms, and for the experiential learning opportunities they provide.
Bryan-Hanson uses layers of paint, graphite and embroidery to create intricate works of art that explore connection and regeneration. She draws her imagery from flora and fauna, highlighting honey bees and other pollinators. Her art has been funded by the Percent for Art Program, Direct Purchase Program of the Wisconsin Arts Board. She was the 2019 recipient of the St. Norbert College Exceptional Service Award.
