A
rt is my sanctuary. I am moved to paint the essence of
stillness, beauty and grace that exists in all things.
I am driven to paint; to empty out.
--Genece Lorraine Hamby

My creative process expands and evolves through the daily discipline of digital illustration, writing and poetry. It is not the "digital" medium by which I have chosen to express myself that makes me an artist. It is a way of life. It is a way of moving through the world; aware of all the beauty that exists.

Color is my signature mark. Whether I am painting a pair of heels, a landscape, seascape or even a whimsical piece, I use color in ways to express what I'm feeling. It all starts with color! I begin with a wash ... light brush strokes of color. I play with transparent hues until an image emerges. The color shapes the painting and gives life to the image.

                

Prior to becoming a fine artist in 2007, I was a branding consultant to solo entrepreneurs in technology, retail and entertainment for 20+ years. I helped artists, authors, lawyers, musicians, stylists, and many others. As a branding expert, I used my artistic talents to help professionals create a strong personal brand presence that was Distinct, Notable and Authentic (DNA).

How did I develop my digital art illustration skills? I was introduced to digital art in the mid 80s ... do you remember MacPaint? It was the first commercial painting software program for the personal computer. Passionate about technology and the advancement of digital art capabilities, I ultimately mastered the skills of illustration and painting techniques while using them to help clients.

In 2007, I returned to the Midwest to care for my Mother. During our four years together before she passed in 2010, I painted as a way of coping. The time with her was a gift and delight beyond my wildest imagination.  The art evolved from that joy and from the loss.

My art is shown in public and private collections and has been represented by galleries and art consultants. I have exhibited and sold at art festivals throughout the U.S. I have also taught other artists how to define and identify their unique personal brand that helps them in gaining greater exposure to their work. I have given presentations and seminars exclusively to artists and other creatives.
