Below the depths of the ocean, between the shadows of waves, among the seaweed resides a once mighty ship, Cerberus. This famous shipwreck at Half Moon Bay has long been in the lore on which artist Hannah Nowlan was raised. Its physical presence a constant reminder of the stories and legends of her childhood, permeating her identity and making its way into her paintings.

Uncovering the oceanic depths with a dense palette of hues and layers of texture Nowlan creates a series of intensely personal paintings, exploring the boundaries between fable and reality, dreams and memories. A profoundly sublime collection of works from the young artist, Cerberus prompts emotional encounters, resonating with our sense of empathy and love.
