Hannah Michelle Kilby is a Canadian, Toronto-based realism painter and photographer originally from Ottawa, ON.

 

She graduated from Carleton University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Journalism and apart from earning a portfolio certificate for a year at the Ottawa School of Art in 2021 (and a brief exploratory stint at OCAD University), she is a self-taught artist.

 

Capturing first with her camera and then with paints, she alternates between serene landscapes, dramatic skies and vibrant still-life scenes. Hannah opened her studio in 2018 under the name of Unmoored Art, then re-branded to Hannah Michelle Studios in 2020. Her small business offers clients prints and ornaments of past original paintings as well as custom commissions, murals, website design and writing services.

 

When not painting, Hannah loves to spend her time outside with her partner and dog or she’s busy daydreaming of adventures either read about within the pages of a great book, or set upon with her own two feet.
