On November 11th, begining at 6:00p.m., The Venue will host a reception for an emerging artist of intern ational proportion!
Megan Amani Hanson may look like an All-American girl but she claims East Africa as home. Amani, which means “peace” in Swahili, has spent the majority of her life in Tanzania and Kenya before coming to Bloomington. The incredible animals that dot the landscape of her home countries are the inspiration for much of her art. Amani’s style combines realistic elements and natural wildlife scenes with a hint of impressionism, making her works vivid and distinct.
“Drawing animals for me is a way of welcoming the audience in to a life that may seem exotic to some but is still the norm for many on the continent where I grew up.” Amani
