The magical creations of Hannah Bullen-Rainer (30 photos)

Each of us has our own ways of finding inner peace. It comes to Hannah Bullen-Rainer through reconnection with Mother Earth.





Bullen-Reiner creates beautiful birds and animals using only natural materials and without resorting to permanent fixtures. During her walks, she collects flowers, leaves, twigs and berries, using them to create delicate portraits in a clearing in the forest or under a small tree. When she completes her work, the creations last only a few moments before nature reclaims them. Fortunately, this short period of time is enough for Hannah to photograph her works of art, or as she calls them, offerings to Mother Nature. Soon after, they are carried away by a breeze, stirred by rain, or destroyed by an insect, and not a trace remains of them.

The artist says she creates to share her love of nature and soothe her soul.

Bullen-Reiner is an artist and a person who appreciates nature, because she has been connected with it all her life - painting and photography, and art has always been a cathartic way for a woman to let it all out, to express what cannot be said in words.

She experienced a particularly acute need for harmony after the birth of her twin daughters. It all started with a short outing into nature.

That day, she made a very simple circular shape from leaves and branches that she collected around her, inspired by the work of artists she saw online and a desire to connect with her environment:

As I sat with the finished product, a small deer wandered into the clearing where I was. And when we made eye contact, instead of running away, he stayed with me, happily in my presence for about 20 minutes. After that, when I thought about it, it seemed to me that that day I opened a portal in the forest that opened a conversation between me and mother earth.

Now land art is her peace, joy, time for herself and connection with our beautiful planet, which definitely deserves the deepest love, respect, appreciation and protection.
