🌟 Holbein Brand Ambassador Spotlight is on artist and teacher Adam Hansen 🌟

From Ohio’s railroad heartland to painting across five continents, Adam Hansen brings a unique blend of storytelling, travel, and observation to his work. After serving in the U.S. Navy and raising a family, he returned to painting in 2021 and has since developed a distinctive artistic voice shaped by his Danish-Filipino heritage, international experiences, and love of plein air painting.

Inspired by the aesthetics of both East and West, Adam captures the quiet beauty of everyday moments, shifting light, and the places that connect us. His work can be found in collections throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

We’re honored to have Adam as part of the Holbein family. Be sure to follow Adam Hansen I Painter and explore his inspiring artistic journey.

✨We are pleased to introduce Holbein Brand Ambassador Lexi Hannah, a professional artist working between Brooklyn and upstate New York whose career spans fine art, murals, and live event painting. Raised in New York’s Capital Region, Lexi earned her B.A. in Art History and Studio Art from SUNY Geneseo in 2014, where she began building her career as a commission artist and muralist.

Her work has taken her across the United States and abroad, creating large-scale murals, immersive paintings, and live event works that capture meaningful moments with a strong sense of atmosphere and narrative. Known for her painterly realism, Lexi’s subjects range from landscapes and architecture to portraits, animals, and story-driven compositions.

Early in her career, she gained attention for her distinctive drip painting technique layered over wax-based illustration, earning recognition from Instagram, Insider, and Vanity Fair. Today, her multidisciplinary practice moves seamlessly between acrylic, oil, watercolor, and spray paint, with an emphasis on large-scale works that combine technical skill with emotion and storytelling.

Alongside her studio practice, Lexi is widely recognized for her live event paintings, where she documents once-in-a-lifetime moments with both precision and artistry. Dedicated to continual growth, she remains actively engaged in study and collaboration with contemporary painters while continuing to expand her creative practice.
