Artist Statement
Bill Hanson’s photographs combine scientific knowledge with his spiritual connections to nature. He is drawn to abstract images that tell stories of energy flow and the history of landscapes. Bill walks deer trails through the forest or beachcombs seaweed lines along the coast, looking for patterns, textures, and color.
Bill worked as an ecologist, forester, and biologist for 37 years. He and his wife, Kate Troll have lived in Anchorage, Ketchikan and Juneau/Douglas since 1977. They have two children, Erin Heist and Rion Hanson.
