About
The Little Bear Artist Partnership is a program to help local artists develop their work and connect to the community by giving a platform to showcase their work. Our vision at Little Bear is “Love People. Use Coffee”. For us that means we place priority on seeing, caring for, and serving people to the best of our ability while serving the best coffee we can. We use our artist partnerships as an extension of that vision. Not only do we want to showcase amazing art, but we want to show art to foster and create human connections, start conversations, and offer artists an opportunity to grow.

Chloe Hanken
Chloe Hanken is a printmaker and illustrator based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Hanken’s work explores the intersection of history, place, and narrative. Her work is informed by her background in natural history and ecology which is brought to bear upon issues of loss, change and unbelonging at the tail end of the American empire. Visual motifs pulled from textiles and stained glass paired with her meticulous illustrations encourage a deliberate engagement with both history and image. Chloe received her MFA from the University of New Mexico and is a 2024-2025 Emerging Artist Member at Strata Gallery in Santa Fe, NM
