We can easily recognize the skill and drama in Hanna's work...The
essential elements of portraiture--the handling of hair, skin, eyes,
cloth--are interpreted in a painterly style. They are realistic without
becoming hard-edged and have a textural, brushy quality that is
refreshing and relaxed.

Human face and form, the forte of portraitist Annette Adrian Hanna, are
handled in a series of exquisite, moody pastels that are one of the
highlights of the exhibit...Hanna includes a landscape that indicates
the range of her talent.

Traditional realist, Annette Adrian Hanna is, thankfully, and expert at the
style. She offers realistic character studies in oil and pastels... and
shifts gears slightly to turn out a dazzling group of pastel landscapes.
