Lisa HamiltonCatching Sight
March 7 - April 25, 2025
Opie Gallery | LVAC
Through the emphasis of mark-making, texture, and movement, I strive to create a kind of language which speaks to the peace and solace of nature. Like an offering I use metalwork to honor her distinct beauty. I am fascinated by the spaces, the poetry of shadows, those voids left by encroaching lichen, crisscrossing tree branches, and the paths of time. Catching Sight invites the viewer to see this world through the lens of my experiences.
Artist Bio:
Lisa Hamilton (b. Orange, California) uses her practice to examine the pull of the natural world. Through movement, texture, weight, she explores nature’s relation to the fragile yet resilient landscape of the body. Like an offering, she creates pieces that allow the personality of every natural object define its use. The ritual of wearing her work may be all that is needed to recreate the connection to the natural world she first experienced as a child. Her work has been exhibited Internationally and Nationally including The Santa Reparata International School of the Arts, Florence, Italy; Precious Collective, United Kingdom; Las Laguna Gallery, Laguna Beach, California; Agora Gallery, New York, New York; The Foundry Art Centre, Saint Charles, Missouri; Bluestem Missouri Crafts Gallery, Columbia, Missouri; Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, Little Rock, Arkansas; The Octagon Center for the Arts, Ames, Iowa; IncuArts Gallery, Honolulu, Hawaii, and others. She received her BFA in Metalsmithing/Jewelry with a minor in Art History from Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri, and her MFA with Honors in Metalsmithing/Jewelry at University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. Lisa currently teaches Metalsmithing and Jewelry classes at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas.
