Hannah Nersasian is the creator behind Wyld Woodland Art, a body of work inspired by the quiet magic of the natural world and the intimate rituals of early motherhood. Her woodland animal portraits began during her pregnancy with her son, Wylder. What started as a series of oil pastel drawings for his nursery quickly became something deeper: a way to imagine the conversations they would one day share. As she drew foxes, badgers, and hares, she found herself wondering aloud — What is this fox thinking? What has startled that hare? Where is the badger headed? The act of drawing became a bridge to a child she had not yet met, transforming anticipation into connection. Those imagined conversations became real. As her son has grown, so too have the stories — evolving into rich, imaginative narratives sparked by the expressive animals that populate her work. Though initially created for a nursery, Hannah’s art resonates far beyond childhood spaces. Rooted in a tradition of enchanted storytelling reminiscent of The Wind in the Willows and the beloved tales of Beatrix Potter, her work evokes a sense of nostalgia, wonder, and calm. Viewers often describe feeling both soothed and transported — reminded that imagination and reverence for the natural world need not fade with age. Working primarily in oil pastel, Hannah captures the soulful presence of woodland creatures with tenderness and quiet strength. Each piece invites the viewer into a moment of stillness — a pause to wonder what the animal might be thinking, and perhaps what we are too. Hannah accepts commissions for collectors seeking a particular animal or a personalized series.
