"My illustration features a bird watcher at Bull Island."
My illustration features a bird watcher at Bull Island. I’m from Clontarf and feel lucky to live so close to one of the best bird-watching sites in Dublin. I thought this would be a nice subject for the cover of a Dublin-based magazine.
I’m Hannah, an illustrator and animator from Dublin. I studied at Cambridge School of Art and have since been working in the animation industry and as a freelance illustrator. You can see more of my work at hannah-vernon.com, or get in touch at hannahjanevernon@gmail.com.
"Stephen’s Green, overlooked by the shopping centre, is an iconic symbol of summer in Dublin to me."
"June is deeply associated with Áine, the Irish goddess of summer, fertility, love, and sovereignty, whose presence is especially felt around the midsummer season."
"The two top squares are Parnell Square and Mountjoy Square. The three bottom ones are St Stephen’s Green, Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square. The fish in the river are mullet."
"This painting is called Blackbird in Trees. I made a few of these small mixed-media paintings in 2022."
