Hannah Keats is an artist based in Tallahassee, Florida, whose practice centers on biomorphic sculptural paintings and installations inspired by nature and science fiction. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art from Florida State University and is currently exploring her connection to marine ecosystems through her evolving body of sculptural paintings. Keats is also an art educator, teaching drawing, 2D Design, and 3D Design, at Chipola College and the University of North Florida.

 

Keats was recently recognized by The Nature Conservancy with an award for her work addressing shark conservation and was named a finalist in the 2026 Miami University Young Painters Competition. In June 2025, she opened her first museum solo exhibition, Breaking Binaries: Hybrid Processes, at the Bradbury Art Museum at Arkansas State University. In 2026, Keats will have a solo exhibition at The Studios of Key West in Key West, Florida, and Fried Fruit Gallery, in Wilmington, North Carolina, in partnership with the University of North Carolina Wilmington and South Arts. Additionally, she will participate in residencies at Vermont Studio Center and the On::View Residency in Savannah, Georgia, in 2026.

 

Beyond her studio practice, Keats is an avid shark tooth and fossil hunter. When not creating, she can often be found combing the beaches of North Florida for fossils or exploring the outdoors with her partner and their two dogs.
