Hanna was born in a small town, on the South Dakota plains, and has been deeply influenced by the serenity of nature. The vast open space of the prairie has always been in her heart. It has taught her that great wonders are revealed through stillness and presence. Hanna now lives in Dubuque, Iowa with her house rabbit, Clover, and her dog Nikola. She loves gardening, hiking, traveling, cooking, dancing and learning new things.
