She draws inspiration for her art from the Old Masters, especially from their use of chiaroscuro and dynamic symmetry, as a compositional tool, utilizing proportions such as the Golden Section.
Hanlon received her BFA in Painting in 1976 from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA in Painting in 1997 from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where she has been part-time faculty since 1997. Her 1997 MFA thesis exhibition entitled 'Home Street Home', was attended by Mayor Willie Brown, as well as the news media, and raised almost $1500 for the Coalition on Homelessness. She has been instrumental in organizing annual fundraising auctions for the Coalition ever since.
Her work was recently featured in the Artists Magazine Competition Spotlight with one of her urban landscapes which was a finalist in the Landscape category. She also paints non-traditional maritime images such as Death of an Oil Tanker which won Best in Show in the Coos Bay Museum’s 15th Annual Maritime Exhibit in 2008. The magazine Sea History will feature her maritime paintings in an article in late 2010. And one of her urban homeless landscapes is part of the traveling museum exhibition entitled Hobos to Street People: Artists’ Responses to Homelessness from the New Deal to the Present
'I feel strongly about the artist’s role in society as witness to the state of our culture and world. Many of my paintings have addressed social, political and environmental issues of our time such as homelessness.'
