An exhibition in Gallery III, June 6 – July 10, 2026

Artist Reception: Saturday June 6, 2pm-4pm

From June 6 to July 10, Sivarulrasa Gallery is delighted to present Hannah Cretien: Dérive. Through a series of portraits and abstract works, Montreal-based artist Hannah Cretien explores how persona is experienced. The small scale works invite the viewer to come closer and discover the intricate world within each piece.

Born in Appleton, Ontario, Hannah Isabelle Cretien currently works from her studio in Montreal, exploring themes in figuration and abstraction. Working in oils, acrylics, ink and a variety of other media, she allows experimentation to guide the making of each work. “Dérive is the French word for drift,” she says. “I am carried by a current, my desire to create. My artworks aim to evoke the purity of a world where we can be ourselves without fear of judgment.”

Artist Reception: Saturday June 6, 2pm-4pm. Artist Hannah Cretien will be in attendance.
