Featured Artist of the month
Each month we feature one artist from our Community Artists page here on our website, in our monthly newsletter, on Instagram, and on Facebook. We will also host an artist’s talk with them over Zoom so our audience can get to know them better. Check back at the beginning of each month for a new artist to learn about. And view artists from past months here.

About the Artist
Mary Hamilton, originally from Richmond, Virginia, earned her BA in Studio Art from Mary Baldwin University. After graduation, she moved to New York City and spent a decade working in finance before rediscovering her passion for art through the community at the Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing in Aix-en-Provence. What began as a single semester intended to reignite her artistic career turned into nearly 15 years of living and creating in France. In 2017, she earned her MFA in Aix-en-Provence with Alan Roberts and John Gasparach as her teachers. In 2022, she relocated to Dallas, Texas, where she now lives with her husband and daughter.
Artist's statement
Creating paintings, drawings, or sculptures is my way of connecting with nature and the movement that surrounds me. I am especially drawn to flowers as a recurring motif. In their stillness, they offer a fleeting glimpse of the natural world—ephemeral yet deeply expressive. Their colors shift, their forms respond to light and air, and it is this subtle interplay—not just their physical beauty but the atmosphere around them—that I strive to capture in my work.
