The Face Behind the Blonde
Hi there! Thank you for visiting my webpage.
My name is Hannah Hollingsworth (Hannah Woodward). I am a graduate of Kansas City Art Institute's Bachelor of Fine Arts Illustration program with an emphasis in painting. I moved back home here to Little Rock, Arkansas after my studies were completed in Kansas City. My goal is to bring calm and cleanliness to your home, and maybe even a creative or artistic flair or two. I understand first hand what it feels like to be stressed and to be surrounded by too much noise. Let me help clear some of that noise for you too.
My Why
I’m many things. I’m a daughter, and now a wife 👰🏼. I’m an artist and someone who LOVES organizing, tidying, and cleaning. (Clutter is a big no for me on my best days).
But behind all of my “I ams”, I have to dig a little deeper and be vulnerable for a minute. And let me tell you, it’s not my favorite thing to do. But I’m going to do it anyway. Ever since I was little, I was always told I had an “old soul” and a “soft spirit” by my elders. Many would find that trait enchanting, and I do love those traits, as they allow me to be empathetic, kind, and compassionate towards others. But while it’s enchanting on one end, it can bring a lot of pain and sensitivity on the other. You may be asking: what does this have to do with cleaning or painting?! If you stick with me, you’ll understand why.
I was bullied for being that quiet, blonde-haired, blue eyed artsy girl ever since kindergarten. I was bullied for not being like everyone else, I was bullied for being “too skinny”. So what I did was go into my turtle shell, and I used creativity as my outlet. I could tune out the entire world and draw, or paint, and create a world of my own where there was no loud noise or bullies. Art became my escape 🎨. And as I got older, I got a little better at learning to not listen to the hateful comments. But our experiences are everything, and they tend to stick with us.
I’ve been suffering with anxiety ever since those elementary and middle school days (and even some high school and college days too), to a fairly moderate degree. It has impacted many aspects of my life. How I feel about my looks, how I feel about making new friends, and even to the point of being weary of trying new things. Being bullied and the trauma that followed created a lot of fear in my life (and still does from time to time), it created chaos, mess, and untidiness. And you know what they say: when your mind is cluttered, your environment mirrors your mind. They feed off of one another.
So THIS is why I do what I do. Not because I’m a clean, tidy, perfect human. But because I know that everyone has their hurts. Everyone has those moments where they just can’t take the clutter anymore. I know, because I’ve been there many many times. I’m here to say that I understand you. Especially in these rough times we are all in right now. We need a break, we need some order in our lives. Something to look at and take a breath of fresh air.
For me, what keeps me calm and what makes me feel the best, is having a clean space, and using my art to escape for a while, or mindlessly meditating while painting a solid color on a wall. For you, it might be the end result. But I’m here to tell you, I get it. So let me help you achieve what makes you feel the best about YOU. Let me help you get rid of all that fear, and clear some of that clutter, whether it is physical, or emotional. As you say, “I got you boo.”
