Brooklyn based artist exploring how stories shape perception, memory, and the imagination. Current research: the myth of Mary Magdalene. Artist in residence at Time To Be Happy, in SoHo, NYC.

Hannah Nutter (b. 1993, Eugene, OR) is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist working across collage, text, performance, and symbolic systems. Her work explores perception, ritual, symbolic inheritance, and how we know what we know.

Trained in theatre, Nutter brings a director's eye to her visual practice. Her images are staged: figures blocked, emotional tension carried through surreal gesture and negative space. Using hand-cut fragments from vintage American ephemera, she builds psychologically charged scenes suspended between dream, memory, and futures that could have been.

Her work is interested in survival. How images, rituals, and archetypes transmit across collapse and what they're doing now. Drawing from visionary traditions, religious iconography, and recognizing the body as deeply intelligent, she asks: how do we know what we know? And what else might we imagine instead? She has spent six years inside the myth of Mary Magdalene. Her current body of work is what rose to the surface.

Her chapbook Hot House Flower (Bottlecap Press) and Substack Now Kiss extend these themes through poetry, essay, and short nonfiction. The Travelers Oracle Deck synthesizes her visionary practice into a new system that borrows from traditional tarot.

Nutter is currently a resident at Time to Be Happy Gallery in SoHo and lives and works in New York.
