An Artist Called Love…
Hi, I’m Love Hannington. An Artist, Spiritual Practitioner and Spaceholder. I’ve always painted since I was very small, but began to take my art creating serious in 2017, at the age of 26, when I felt trapped in my life.
I wanted to create artwork that was vibrationally in a place where, at that point in time- I really wasn’t. I wanted to create artwork that existed on the other side of trauma; resilience, empowerment and more than anything, enjoyment.
In creating the artworks I did as I reached my Saturn return (28) , I was able to explore and get closer to, the idea of an abundantly beautiful life. An embodied life. A life that fully embraced a joy for living. In doing so, I was launched into a Spiritual journey, one that I had started in my teenage years but put behind me due to fear of being called a Witch. I spent time grounding in nature, seeing and feeling the beauty, working with sacred plant medicines, and learning to recognise the movement of energy.
As I embraced my connection to the Universe, understanding it from both Ancient Indigenous and Scientific perspectives, I gained a sureness that expressed itself in bold, juicy colours and hidden symbols found in Ancient traditions and nature.
I explored deeper into African-Caribbean and Celtic traditions, seeking to understand what built wholeness in those communities in times where we knew a deeper sense of purpose and destiny.
Now, the artwork I create seeks to combine ideas of Animism, nature as an act of ancestral remembering, and the most beautiful parts of enjoying the small things. It’s energy, as everything is.
My artistic journey has graced prestigious institutions like The National Maritime Museum, Trafalgar Square, and Channel 4’s Big Breakfast Reboot. I hold space in the form of circles and workshops that harmoniously blend art and spirituality, guiding participants towards mindful creative practices that rekindle connection with the self and divine.
I also express my knowledge and wonder of the esoteric, through my cohosting of The Afro Animist Podcast, speaking on topics surrounding Spirituality, Hermeticism and Esotericism. I have provided educational talks at The Magickal Women’s Conference, and The National Maritime Museum discussing African Diasporic Spirituality and Ancestral Spiritual Herbalism practices.
I am available for mindful art workshops, talks on spirituality, live painting and exhibiting at galleries and shows. To book, please email me at hello@ lovehannington.com.

Art As Ancestral
Remembering
“I’m drawn to the colourful, the maximalist, the vibrant. Throughout nature, from the boldness of tropical birds, to the rich greens in nature and the luscious pink hues of flowers, we are surrounded by brightness. Our ancestors knew this and surrounded themselves with the colour and beauty of nature. Bringing these colourful energies into my home has helped me to feel so held in my home space, and brought me into a headspace of ancestral remembering” - Love
