ONDINE

ROOTS

Hannah Rindlaub, founder and creative director of Ondine, grew up running wild on a small island off the coast of Maine. With sap calloused hands and barnacle scarred knees, Rindlaub's love and understanding for the natural world began. She left Maine for Los Angeles to study studio art. LA's flora was far from the concrete jungle she had anticipated and her art practice was always inspired by or made up of materials from her natural surroundings. After her degree, Rindlaub landed in the PNW. She reveres this landscape of blackberry brambles, moss clad forests and driftwood stacked coastline. After several years working as a gardener, Rindlaub sought to marry her botanical knowledge and wonder with her intrinsic need to create.
