New Zealand artist Hannah Ireland discusses her year-long project 'Making Faces,' in which she created a new portrait every day for 365 days. The project was a deeply personal exploration of artistic creation away from public expectations. Ireland initially studied pre-med but transitioned to fine arts, realizing that care and connection could be expressed through visual art. Her work focuses on impressionistic portraits, often painted on the reverse of glass, and she reflects on how her journey from science to art shaped her identity as an interdisciplinary artist.
