Hatty Buchanan (b. 1967, London) lives and works between the Midlands and London. She returned to visual art after a career in West End and Broadway theatre production and as an early dotcom entrepreneur. Part of her childhood was spent in Bangladesh, and alongside extensive travel in the 1980s and 1990s these experiences continue to shape her practice. She previously served as Director of a creative community in London’s East End and now works from her studio practice.

Rooted in processes of stitch, assemblage, and repair, Hatty’s practice engages with the materiality and residues of trauma – both personal and collective. Working with reclaimed and repurposed materials, she explores how acts of mending, layering, and reuse can transform fragments of loss into sites of resilience and renewal. Her works often operate as quiet embodiments of survival, where the physical trace of the hand becomes a site of both vulnerability and strength.

Hatty’s work is held in a number of private collections, including **Private Collection Maureen Paley**, and is featured on the **White Columns Artists’ Registry**.
