Hanna von Goeler received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Davis. She completed additional post graduate study at the Jan van Eyck Academy in the Netherlands.
Born in Europe, von Goeler's family moved to the United States while she was still an infant. Her father worked as a physicist at Princeton University. The international atmosphere there, as well as her bilingual upbringing and frequent travels led to her preoccupation with the fluidity of identity, culture and perception. Her parents' wartime experiences, as well, influence her work and perspective.
Von Goeler exhibits internationally. Her work has been shown at venues such as Hunter College’s Times Square Gallery, The Shirley Fiterman Center and High Noon Gallery in New York City; Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland; The Museum Bellrive in Zurich, Switzerland; The Museum of Arts and Crafts Itami in Japan; Kunsthal KaDE, Amsterdam Drawing, Phoebus Gallery in the Netherlands; The Hunterdon Museum of Art; The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (Hudson Valley MOCA); Princeton University’s Bernstein Gallery at the Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs; The Cumberland Gallery in Nashville; Galeria Ajolote Arte Contemporaneo, Mexico; The Osprey Arts Center, Nova Scotia; the Naracje Festival for Installation and Intervention in Public Space in Gdansk, Poland, etc. Her ongoing currency work was selected by Robert Storr for exhibition at Exit Art in New York, NY.
Her work has also been featured in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Art Review, Apollo Magazine, Studio International, The National, Another Magazine and the Stuttgarter Zeitung; in books such as Malek Abou’s Fondement Metaphysiques du Dollar and Architectural Inventions: Visionary Drawing (Matt Bua and Maximillian Goldfarb); as well as in museum and gallery catalogs and online blogs.
