Hannah Stouffer
Stouffer has worked with a wide array of commercial clients, creating and transforming her work to fit the desires of American Express, Nike, Dell, Disney, Christian Dior, IBM, MSN, The New York Times, Ford, The North Face and Vans. From creating site-specific installations to illustrations to embellishing products, billboards, apparel and vehicles, the extent of her client roster is immeasurable. Her work has been animated to create motion graphics for GREE, Lipton and Ludacris and she has been the creative hand behind multiple international campaigns. Her work has been featured in Computer Arts Projects Magazine, Communication Arts, Xlr8r and online at Abuzeedo, Booooooom and Hypebeast and she has been the illustration editor for Juxtapoz Magazine and Juxtapoz.com since 2011.
In her work, feminine decorative embellishments are counterbalanced by macabre motifs, the animal kingdom, and the never-ending pursuit of illustrating explosive emotional transcendence. Stouffer is best known for the incongruity of intricately executed imagery and shadowy and ethereal themes. She has had solo exhibitions in galleries from San Francisco, Portland and Los Angeles to Toronto, Denver, New Jersey and New York.
Stouffer has maintained a strong presence in the illustration world while simultaneously exhibiting her work as both a commercial and fine artist. She is part of a generation of illustrators who are savvy enough to take advantage of the advances of technology but do so in a traditional manner, keeping the talent and technique at the basis of their work, blending the disciplines and lines that separate commercial and fine art illustrators.
