Tsering Hannaford
Tsering Hannaford (born 19 March 1987) is an Australian artist.[1][2][3][4][5] In 2012 Tsering and her father Robert Hannaford were the "first father and daughter to show concurrently in Salon des Refusés, an exhibition of Archibald entries",[6][7] and in 2015 they were the first father and daughter selected as finalists for the Archibald Prize.[8][9] Tsering is a great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Susannah Hannaford.
Early life and education[edit]
Tsering Hannaford was born in Adelaide in 1987 to shoemaker Shirley Andris[10] and artist Robert Hannaford, who were living in West Hindmarsh. Also in 1987, Robert Hannaford bought a disused farmhouse and outbuildings at Peters Hill in the Mid North of South Australia near Riverton and converted them into a house and studio.[11]
Tsering grew up in Riverton and West Hindmarsh, and was educated at the University of Adelaide where she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2008 and a Graduate Diploma in Art History in 2011.[6][12][13]
Career[edit]
Tsering Hannaford has been painting since infancy; at age four her father set up a studio for her. However, she also has had many other interests.
After finishing at University, Hannaford concentrated on painting. She specializes in portraiture, landscapes and still life painting.[14] She became a full time artist in 2012.[6]
She has been a finalist in the Portia Geach Memorial Award three times (highly commended in 2014), a finalist in the A.M.E. Bale Travelling Scholarship and Art Prize, a semi-finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize, and hung twice (2012 & 2013) in the Archibald Salon des Refusés.[12][15][9][16]
She was an Archibald Prize finalist in 2015,[9] 2016,[16] 2017,[17] 2018,[18] 2019, 2020 and 2021.[19]
