Reimagining the past through illustration


Hannah Dosanjh
Swindon based Artist and Historian
Hannah Dosanjh is a skilled illustrator and artist, also known for her unique collages and wry depictions of humans. Hannah has developed a distinctive style that draws inspiration from local history, creating detailed compositions and “time capsules” that transport viewers to a different era.
Her work often draws upon old photos, (thank you to The Swindon Society for making so many photos by Albert Beaney accessible) and reflects her fascination with the interplay of change and continuity. Her use of poised figures in bold colours ads to the playful and nostalgic feel of her work.
Hannah is passionate about using art, humour and story to bring history to life. She happily describes herself as a history nerd, as “Stories explain everything”
