Hi!

Hannah Salyer’s deep reverence for the natural world was fostered while growing up on the east coast of the US. She brings that wonderment to her work as an award-winning illustrator, author, educator, mixed media artist and gallery director.

Hannah’s work has been recognized by American Illustration, The Society of Illustrators, and featured in various exhibitions in NYC. Her books have been deemed Gold Standard Selections by Junior Library Guild, and lauded as "wholly captivating” (★ Kirkus), “breathtaking” (★ Booklist), and “visually stunning” (★ Publisher’s Weekly). In 2023 Hannah was selected to be a Maurice Sendak Fellow.

She teaches art to students of all ages, including those at Parsons School of Design, has a robust ceramics practice, and is co-founder and co-director of Underland Gallery. Her work hones in on the inextricable bonds that tie humans to the lives of the other creatures with whom we share our planet. She lives with her partner and their three cats (all of whom are related, and were born on her fire escape), in Brooklyn, NY.
