Hi, I’m Hannah Finch, the Free Range Artist!

On the knife edge of Capitol Peak in Colorado. Summer 2024. This was my 34th 14er summit.

You’ve heard of free-range chickens... but have you heard of a free-range artist?

For me, being “free range” is more than a name—it’s a way of life. It’s about embracing adventure, creativity, and the freedom to explore both the world around me and the ideas within. I find inspiration everywhere, from the rugged peaks to the starlit skies.

My colorful pet portraits capture the joy and personality of beloved companions, while my dreamy cosmic landscapes celebrate the beauty and mystery of outer space. Each piece I paint reflects my love for connection, curiosity, and the natural world.

I’m based in Colorado but always ready to travel wherever inspiration—or a commission—takes me. Whether I’m on a trail, under the stars, or in the studio, I’m dedicated to creating art that brings a sense of magic and possibility into your world.

Space Art


I paint outer space because it embodies the perfect blend of wonder, mystery, and infinite possibility. The vastness of the cosmos reminds me of how small we are in the grand scheme, yet it inspires awe in our ability to explore and connect with the unknown. I’m drawn to the interplay of light, color, and depth in nebulae and galaxies, which mimic the organic, fluid forms I love in nature. Outer space is a bridge between the natural world and the unknown—it’s both grounding and humbling while inviting imagination and curiosity.

Painting the cosmos also aligns with my fascination for our place in the universe and the feminine energy that drives much of my work. Each piece becomes a portal, encouraging others to pause, dream, and reflect. Through my art, I hope to share that same sense of wonder and spark conversations about the beauty of what lies beyond.

Pet Portraits


I paint pets because it brings me so much joy. There’s something magical about capturing the unique personality of a furry friend—their goofy grins, soulful eyes, or mischievous expressions. It’s impossible not to smile when their faces are looking back at me from the canvas.

Painting pets is also incredibly grounding for my mental health. It reminds me of the simple, unconditional love animals bring into our lives. Every portrait feels like a celebration of that bond, and knowing my art can make someone else smile as much as it makes me is the best part of what I do.
