Hi, I’m Hanna Barnhart, the artist behind Owen & Mae.

I grew up on a farm in the midwest surrounded by nature and armed with a sketchbook. I love to observe the natural world and use it to make art of all mediums, but watercolor is one of my favorite. 

The name Owen & Mae comes from my parents middle names. My Dad’s middle name is Owen, and he taught me about nature and gave me my love of the outdoors. My Mom’s middle name is Mae, and I grew up surrounded by her endless DIY creativity and artistic talent. 

Thus Owen & Mae was born out of a desire to spread my love of the natural world through the art I create.  

I believe we all have a deep desire to make beautiful things.Wherever you are in life, may my art inspire and delight you, and bring some brightness to your day.

Thanks for stopping by!
