Keith 'Munro' Hanson has been creating artworks for over 40 years. Completely self-taught he started with pencils around 5, pastels at age 8, figurative pen and ink at 16, completed his first mural at 17, did his first large abstract in 1993 (pictured left), and has developed a reputation for large free-flowing abstracts with vibrant colours, explosive movements and energetic lines ever since.

Highly creative and possessing an overactive imagination he grew up in the United States and travelled with his parents to almost every major European art gallery by the time he was seven.

Son of a college professor, member of California's MGM (Mentally Gifted Minor) Program, exposure to alternative communities and participant in four enlightenment workshops by age of 16, he often pushes boundaries with metaphorical or figurative representations of motivation, achievement, triumph, determination vs. oppression, tyranny, domination, repression etc, with forays into higher consciousness, spirituality, the cosmos, ancient civilizations, esotericism, and the origins of humanity.

In addition to painting, drawing, writing and sculpting Munro has created art for corporate brochures, advertising campaigns, catalogues, flyers, celebratory events, a board game, and digitally for over 60 magazine front covers.
