Hanna
Varghese is a Malaysian artist who began painting religious/biblical
themes after she was inspired by artworks of Asian Christians in
the early issues of IMAGE magazine. The spritual images made by
other Asian Christian artists prompted her to explore the possibilities
of making tangible her own understanding of her Christian sprituality
and faith - for the first time.
The first Asian Christian Women Artists; Sprituality & Faith
Consultation was significant milestone in her journey of exploring
visual images from the Bible text and her faith. Presently she is
coordonator of the Malaysian Christian Artists' Fellowship. CCM,
and council member of ACAA. Hanna works mainly in acrylics and batik-dyeing.
She says, "This is my way of witnessing for Christ for the
gift I have been blessed with."

Painting and
drawing has been Hanna's great passion for as long as she can remember.
Hanna presently dyes batik cloth pictures and paints mainly in acrylics.
She says: "Visual
images reveal more of one's mind than words. Art (images/icons)
has been used in education, contemplation, meditation and veneration
in Christian tradition. I hope to continue expressing my Christian
faith through art."
