ABOUT HANI THOMPSON

Hani Rosenbaum Thompson is a visual artist and musician based in Massachusetts, originally from New York.

Her artwork spans across a variety of mediums, from surrealist, high-texture acrylic paintings, to hyper-detailed embroidered garments, to copper plate etching design & printmaking. Regardless of medium, hani’s pieces often involve themes inspired by tarot and nature, woven into stories of color and texture.

Hani’s first solo album, “rituals” was released on november 8, 2025 with Echo Base Production (in part funded by the Massachusetts cultural council).

This performance is brought to you with support from the local cultural councils of Charlemont-Hawley, Conway, Greenfield, and Sunderland which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, Greenfield Savings Bank, and the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts.
