Colette Hannahan - I’ve made art pretty much my whole life, but didn’t fully dive in until my mid-30s. By then, I’d had over 40 jobs. I’ve delivered mail at a retreat center in the Hudson Valley, sold knives kitchen to kitchen in St. Paul, ran a service-learning program for teens in Portland, taught art and yoga to adults with disabilities in Chicago, mentored teens at a boarding school in New Mexico, and was a project coordinator for an arts nonprofit that supported artists with life-threatening illnesses in San Francisco.
I like to see my paintings as toasts to the moments that cause me to look up and slow down. |  | | #11 Ruby’s Clay Studio and Gallery (552A Noe St):
Celebrating artists: Reiko Takahashi, Anna Payden, Rachel Cox, Gary Peden, Mack Dudley, Vicki Kleben, Zack Conquer, Mary Celojko, Liz Dembski, Belinda Hahn, Mike Roche, Kathy Lin, Judi Mozessen, Grace Alexander, Terrie Raphel, Liz Worthy, Dan Salazar, Etsuko Bram, Beth Gabow, Claudia McKenzie, Anelise Dandler.
