Gillian Mary HanlyONZM (néeTaverner; born 1934) is a New Zealand artist. She is best known for documenting protests and social movements in New Zealand's recent history.[1]
Hanly was born in 1934 in Levin, New Zealand. She has two younger brothers.[1] She grew up on a sheep farm between the sea and the town of Bulls, where the family worked hard to contribute.[1]
She was home schooled until the age of 12, when she was sent to Nga Tawa school in Marton.[1]
She attended the Ilam School of Fine Arts in Christchurch in the early 1950s, where she trained to be a painter.[2] She met her husband Pat Hanly while at Ilam.[1]
CareerEdit
After she graduated from university she moved to London for five years, where she worked as a props buyer for a production company.[1] After she moved back to New Zealand she worked at University Bookshop for a decade.[1] She started working for the feminist publication Broadsheet in 1972.[3]
Hanly was associated with the long-running feminist magazine Broadsheet.[1][2] However, she does not think she is a feminist.[1]
She also has an interest in photographing gardens.[1][5]
She does not describe herself as a photographic artist, but rather she sees herself as a "documenter".[5] Hanly has been documented social protests since the 1970s including the reclamation of Bastion Point and the 1981 Springbok Tour.[6]
Hanly was married to the painter Pat Hanly until he died in 2004.[1][2] She has two children with Pat, and her husband had another daughter in a different relationship.[5]
