Early life and education

Tsering Hannaford was born in Adelaide in 1987 to shoemaker Shirley Andris[8] 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.[9]

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.[10] [11] [12]

Career

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.[13] She became a full time artist in 2012.[10]

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.[11] [14] [15] [16]

She was an Archibald Prize finalist in 2015,[15] 2016,[16] 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.[17]
