Hannah Perschel (born 1940 in Köflach, Styria) is an Austrian born and raised artist of Swiss nationality. With her basic art education in painting and typography at the Zurich School of Art and Design Perschel continued her learning at the international summer academy in Salzburg. Influenced by masters Joseph Mikl and Emilo Vedova, she soon started to develop her own distinctive style of paintings focusing in her works on the effects and interactions of lights and colors.
Perschel's interest in chromatics and the effects of lights redirected her artistic talents with noticeable impact on her works. Since 1989 she conducts chromatic seminars and courses in painting in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Starting in 1993, she further deepened her expertise and education in the interdisciplinary composition of colors in the area of architecture at the International Association of Color Consultants (IACC) represented by the alliance of European color consultants (BEF) in Salzburg.
In 1996 Perschel graduated with a revolutionizing diploma work: Perception of colors and effects of compositions of colors in the medical field. Her work was established at the Gynecological department of the Zurich University Hospital.
