Hanna Waite

Born in England in 1974. A year later the family moved to Uppsala, Sweden, where Hanna grew up. She returned to England in 1994 to complete her studies and received a Bachelor of Arts in 1997 from The University of East London. In 1998 Hanna moved to the South of France where she met her future husband, Mitch Waite, also an artist. They married in 2000 and opened an art school the same year, Maison des Arts. In 2010 the business expanded with the acquisition of an art gallery in the town of Vence, near Nice called Galerie Waite. Here they were both able to have their studio as well as receive clients and sell their art. In January 2013 Mitch was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour and died in November the same year. The family decided to move back to Uppsala, Sweden, where Hanna now lives with her two boys, Anthony and Elton. She is continuing her career as an artist and has since opened a shop/gallery with two partners in the centre of town called ROSTIK.
