Jack Hannula

Guest Artist

Jack Hannula began a life of art in Gardner, Massachusetts with childhood inspiration from his artist-teacher mother. After earning a B.S. in Environmental Design from the University of Massachusetts, Jack went on to receive a diploma from the Conway School of Landscape Design and in 1977, a Masters in Landscape Architecture from Harvard University where he won the Webbel Prize for excellence in landscape design.

His love for classical painting was pursued in tandem with studies at the Art League School in Alexandria, Va., at the Plein Air School of Painting in Paris and with nationally recognized landscape painter, Bob Rohm. He paints full time and can often be found painting on the streets of Washington and New York.

Jack has held professorships at the University of Georgia and L'Université de Montreal and also served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Iran where he designed parks.

Today, Jack resides in Washington, D.C. where he is both a member of the Arts Club of Washington and its current serving President, and of the International Artists Support Group (IASG), where he served as President from 2000 to 2002. Internationally he has exhibited his art in India, China, Russia and Egypt. He currently shows at the Amsterdam-Whitney Gallery in (Chelsea) New York City, and at the the Club's Spilsbury Gallery in downtown Washington. His vibrant city scenes and landscapes are in various private and public collections.
