Hannah Petrikovsky is a painter and collage artist whose layered work incorporates found imagery, recycled drawings, and text. Her practice explores themes of ambivalence in motherhood, the roots of aggression, and post-apocalyptic eschatological anxiety.
The work often functions cathartically, transforming inchoate fears into a specific visual and symbolic vocabulary. The work draws on Biblical, Talmudic, and medieval Jewish texts, contemporary literature, and observational drawing both from the incessant news cycle and her lived experience.
Hannah Petrikovsky first trained at the Art Students League in New York and received her BFA with honors from Lyme Academy of Arts. She holds an MFA and an MA from SUNY Purchase and lectures in art history at various universities.
She teaches painting and drawing to students of all ages and lives in New Haven, Connecticut with her husband and four kids.
