Hannah Spooner is a car enthusiast who has carved out a niche creating custom car illustrations for collectors, dealerships, and even automotive celebrities. We reached out to ask Hannah a few questions about her work and her passion for cars.
 
 
TGR: How long have you been drawing cars?

HS: I’ve been drawing cars for 3 years, but drawing in general since I was little.

 

TGR: What got you into cars?

HS: My fiancé is a car fanatic, we always go to car shows together and he pretty much made me fall in love with them.

TGR: What do you currently drive?

HS: Currently, I drive an Audi S4, but am hoping to get a new car in a couple months, a Challenger SRT.                         

TGR: Back to art, how did you learn how to draw and are did you go to school for art?

HS: My aunt went to art school (College for Creative Studies, one of the top art schools in the country) for automotive design, & she was my mentor. I followed in her footsteps and went to CCS for the same major, but dropped out after a semester as designing cars wasn’t my passion. “Fine art” is what I technically do by recreating photos of cars.

TGR: Do you sell your work? If so where?

HS: I sell my art through social media, and I am trying to grow a business through Instagram.. Recently, an Aston Martin dealership hired me to draw each car they sell to send out as a gift to each customer

TGR: Where do you hope your art will take you?

HS: I hope to be able to have a studio one to filled with car drawings, I think they have a special meaning behind them. Seeing first hand how much my fiancé cherishes his car really made me realize how special they are.

TGR: Can people commission you to draw their car? If so what do you charge?

HS: People commission me all the time, I currently have 50 drawings back-ordered. I juggle the dealership and individual orders as efficiently as possible. I charge $245 for a 16×20 & $265 for an 18×24 including shipping in the US.

TGR: What is your dream car?

HS: My dream car is probably a Mercedes GT R

TGR: Where can people follow your work and connect with you?

HS: Instagram is the best place to follow me @She_Draws_Cars, people can DM me if they want to commission a drawing.

At first glance, Kate Cook’s artwork might seem like a paradox—a seamless blend of classic oil painting techniques with the high-octane world of automotive enamels. Her signature approach, which she calls "Artemotiv," merges the meticulous craftsmanship of fine art with the raw energy of hot rods and muscle cars. But spend a few minutes with Cook, and the paradox resolves itself into something more profound: an artist who has not only found her lane but paved it herself.
