Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is a charity exhibit benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center.

Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is a charity exhibit benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center.
The collection is a series of ten impasto acrylic paintings by Hanna Rachocka that transform the traditional still life into an elemental exploration of emotion, weather, and inner fire.

After twenty years illustrating for advertising and major gaming studios, I kept returning to the same question: what does it mean to make something that simply is, that doesn’t sell a product or tell someone else’s story? This show is my answer. The work varies between overlooked moments, light cutting through ordinary scenes, and whimsical […]
