Hall’s visual art represents a new and more personal chapter in her creative life. Through her photographic mixed media work, Hall is drawn to create multi-layered emotional landscapes. In her drawing, painting, and collage work, she has discovered a passion for joyful abstract expression seeped in color and rich with hand-hewn detail. Hall enjoys working in both digital and analog spaces, frequently jumping back and forth between them to enhance a final work.
Hall attended Northwestern University and New York University. She taught at Columbia College Chicago. Hall’s current home is in Snowmass Village, CO.
