Hadani Woodruff

In 2020 Hadani picked up the paint brush, after having pressed pause on exhibiting and selling art in 2007 to focus on family life.  Since then, Hadani predominately uses oil on canvas. Her signature pieces are large oil landscapes, inspired from her love of trail running and the unique landscapes she comes across in the hills and mountains of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The works capture a quality of light and explore style and gesture. In addition to her large landscapes, Hadani paints life-like portraits, abstract works and commissioned pieces.  

“When people view my works, I aim to move something within them, to engage and capture the viewer so they feel lost in their thoughts, drifting in time while life is paused around them.”
