Hannaford is a self-taught artist who has been mentored by South Australian artists Hans Heysen and Ivor Hele. He worked as political cartoonist for the Adelaide Advertiser from 1964 -1967, before becoming a full time artist in 1970.

Primarily known as a portrait artist, depicting the likes of Dame Joan Sutherland, Donald Bradman, Paul Keating, and Bob Hawke, he is also know for his landscapes, still lifes and nudes. He has commented on his portraiture that: “Portraiture is an exploration of character that goes beyond photography. It is an ongoing thing over a long period of time. You get elements of various emotions that can be sensed in the painting.”

He has entered the Archibald Prize each year since 1991 and has been a finalist every year that he has entered.
