During this time Hanly took night classes and then enrolled as a non diploma student at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts. After graduating Hanly travelled to Europe and attended classes at the Chelsea School of Art. Hanly returned to New Zealand in 1962 and accepted a position teaching drawing at the University of Auckland School of Architecture. Hanly continued to paint until his retirement in 1994.
