Mo Hamilton
Mo Hamilton is a painter and block printer. Some of her most recent work includes the 100 Houses Project.
I think a lot of my art represents experiences people have. For example, I just finished my 100 houses project and I use the houses as a symbol and its experiences people have when they move...They have an emotional component to them and I think people really resonate with them because they recognize in my art an experience they've had.
"My art tends to come from my imagination. It's just daydreaming, things I think of when I'm in the car. If i go for a walk, I get ideas"
​
"I try to create art that addresses the changes and emotion that people have."
"I feel we have a really wonderful, diverse group of artists here and I actually think living in the north is quite conducive to creating art because we have an amazing art community here."
​
"The landscape, the geography, that fact that we have longer winters I think is really conducive to being in a studio, having more time with the short days in the winter."
"Its a great place to live, to make art."

In her spare time, Mo enjoys cooking, walking her dog, playing her ukulele, and doing yoga.
