Shelly Hanan is a fine art photographer living in Napa, California. She discovered her heart's desire

at the age of five, when she received a Kodak Brownie camera for her birthday.

Hanan spent her formative years in New York and moved to Arcata, California to attend Humboldt State University where she specialized in fine art photography. She continued her education at the State University of New York at Stony Brook where she received her teaching certification in K-12 Art Education.

Hanan has exhibited within the United States including Select Fair during Frieze, New York and at Spectrum, during Art Basel, Miami and internationally in London England and Budapest Hungary. She was awarded two public art installations in Napa, California. Hanan had the great pleasure of being the artist-in-residence at Starry Night in New Mexico for two years, and in Budapest, Hungary at the Hungarian Multicultural Center (HMC). Her work was featured in an international exhibit in Budapest and at a worldwide, collaborative exhibit sponsored by the HMC and the state of Texas.
