"When you reach the heart of life, you will find beauty in everything.” --Kahlil Gibran.
As a digital artist, Genece Hamby best expresses herself by giving outward form to inward feelings of stillness, beauty and grace. She is profoundly drawn to introduce a quiet, yet passionate brilliance of color and light. Genece gives way to the sensual, feeling self when fully realized in form that yearns to emerge as something beautiful and soulful.
"In 2005, I began my journey as an artist and created Shibui Studio as my working space both online and offline. Shibui is a Japanese word that refers to a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty. Now, Shibui Studio has evolved into an art gallery located in Gillespie, IL with a passion for exhibiting contemporary art from local artists." -- Genece Hamby
