A Goodie Bag from Hanna

Hanna Wright's Drawings

We recently received mail from the USA: a thick envelope containing a plethora of objects. There were drawings [enlarge] as well as photos from magazines. We found a sketch explaining the function of a dredging boat and some of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous anatomical studies. (Unfortunately, not the originals.)

The colorful envelope

The sender was Hanna Marie Dean Wright from Kentucky, USA. Hanna is a folk artist who states: Being young and dynamic, she refuses to let a few experts and leading galleries decide what the rest of humanity should consider art:

“Art is something people should be able to relate to. Art is a visceral experience that can be accessed by all regardless of race socioeconomic status, gender, religion or identity.”
