Rowena Hannan is a Victorian ceramic and sculptural artist whose practice spans more than three decades. Based in Glenlyon, near Melbourne/Naarm, she is known for her evocative figurative works that weave together personal narrative, memory, myth and symbolism. Clay is her primary medium, allowing her to shape nuanced human forms that speak to emotional states, inner landscapes and the stories we carry. Alongside her ceramic practice, Hannan also works in concrete, bronze and steel, extending her interest in form and storytelling into large-scale public sculptures.

Hannan trained in Ceramic Design at Monash University and later completed a Diploma of Education, leading to a distinguished career in arts education. She has taught Visual Arts for many years, including significant leadership roles such as Head of Art at Firbank Grammar and Head of Visual Arts at Korowa Anglican Girls’ School. She is also co-author of the award-winning VCE art textbook Artisan.

Her work has been exhibited widely across Victoria, most recently in projects such as “Devotion” at SOL Gallery, where her sculptural pieces explored human presence, devotion, and the interplay between the physical and spiritual. Continually evolving, Hannan’s practice reflects a deep commitment to craftsmanship, storytelling and the expressive potential of the human figure.
