Hannah Barnes was born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts and currently lives and works in Muncie Indiana. Barnes received her BFA in Painting from Maine College of Art and her MFA in Visual Art from Rutgers State University of New Jersey. Her work has been exhibited in galleries nationally including Work Gallery and Hogar Collection in Brooklyn NY, the Ohio State University in Columbus OH, Hay Gallery in Portland ME, Hello Gallery in New Haven CT, Arthouse Contemporary in Austin TX, and the Shore Institute for Contemporary Art in Long Branch, NJ. Barnes has been a visiting artist and lecturer at Ohio State University, Kent State University, and Maine College of Art and is currently Assistant Professor of Painting at Ball State University.

Barnes's work draws on traditional media and painterly craft to explore themes of ambiguity, fragmentation, and the rejection of overt meaning in painting. For this exhibition, Hannah will incorporate recent painting and works on paper into the studio-as-gallery.
