D'Este Hanson

I was born in the United States in 1968. For many years I worked in digital media and advertising in New York, London and Amsterdam. Since 2007 I have been based in Amsterdam.

While living in London, I also began working as an artist. In 2003, I completed an artist's residency at the Florence Trust and won an award for Best of Show at the London Art Fair in 2004.

Over the last few years, I have been working with digital photography. Inspired by the Dutch still life paintings of flowers from the 17th century, I am exploring traditional ideas of still life combined with a modern perspective.
