her Jeep. Of course, wherever she

goes, her sketch book goes too, acting

as a diary of her travels.

When London’s National Portrait

Gallery started acquiring work by

endorsement of her skill and

recognition of her life in art. Other

‘Another World’, presented by M1 Fine Art,

explores Hazel Soan’s relationship between

her birth city, London and her love for the

Rainbow Nation, South Africa. Offering a

fascinating insight into the contrasting worlds,

brought together in her signature painted style.

Hazel’s work brings to life undiscovered

similarities between the natural and man-made

world. Known world-wide for her ability to play

with light and reflection, Hazel paints vibrant

figures in their given landscape, capturing

powerful visuals which ignites a sense of story.

At a time where the Coronavirus pandemic is

effecting the human race globally, ‘Another

World’ highlights the beauty and life of travel in

art.

The virtual exhibition showcases original oil

and watercolour artworks, all painted in

Hazel’s studio in South Africa. Hazel has been

situated in South Africa throughout the entirety

of the Coronavirus pandemic, using archived

photographs of her previous travels as
