inspirational art and poetry expressing the stillness, beauty
|
As a contemporary artist, Genece Hamby best expresses herself by giving outward form to inward feelings of stillness, beauty and grace. She creates a unique visual language combining digital with traditional painting. She is profoundly drawn to introduce a quiet, yet passionate brilliance of color and light from the mystical essence that takes hold her hand, which tells her when the work is completed. Genece gives way to the sensual, feeling self when fully realized in form that yearns to emerge as something beautiful and soulful.
Although Genece Hamby is an emerging artist in the traditional sense, she is no stranger to the world of art. Since 1985, she was a brand consultant specializing in commercial packaging design and brand identity. She was hired for her unique perspective and keen branding talents. Genece spent years developing package designs with a holistic approach. Not only should a product perform to expectation, it should also look elegant and exquisite, be visually sensual to the eye with an air of ceremony to the packaging and unwrapping of he treasure within. To Genece, it is the WHOLE experience that is important. As a contemporary artist: Genece taps into imagery seen within her own mind's eye. Evocative and warm, she captures the deeper beauty that exists in our natural world. She breathes life into her paintings using vibrant and rich color to captivate the senses. "My digital paintings are a deeper expression that aligns with the stillness, beauty and grace of my soul. It is why all of my work has a quality of light and depth. I reach for the purest visual I am capable of captivating. My desire is always to express something beautiful, soulful, or colorful that creates an oasis of stillness." -- Genece As a poet: Genece has been expressing herself through poetry for most of her life. For her, it is the language of the soul. In 1995, Genece published a book of bedroom poetry entitled, "Primal Play". In the same year, her poem, "Will You Play With Me?", was selected as 1 of 33 out of 2500 submitted poems to record to classical music for an album of poetry. Her poem was chosen for its rhythm in sound and word. Currently, Genece is working on a book of art and poetry, "Food for Thought." |

"Creating art is a natural expression of my
soul's deeper message and calling. Each creation is a distinct note from an
inner well of beauty and grace that is the essence of who I am.
