Phil Hansen

Phil Hansen is a multimedia artist who works at the intersection of traditional visual art, pointillism, and offbeat techniques. His work has been featured on the Discovery Channel, CNN, CBS, Good Morning America, The Rachael Ray Show, Dr. Phil, Glamour and many other venues.

In high school, Hansen developed a tremor and was diagnosed with permanent nerve damage in his arm that stopped him from following his dream of being an artist. After finding his way back to art years later, Hansen embarked on a journey to embrace his limitation. And along the way, he discovered that he could use limitations to actually drive creativity.  
Hansen is the author of Tattoo a Banana, which presents an innovative approach to finding creativity through the exploration of everyday objects. As a commercial artist, Hansen has worked on a variety of TV and internet campaigns with clients that include the Grammy's, Skype, Diesel and Arby's.
