I love to create expressive, abstract pieces. Faces are ago-to, favorite subject. It's become a mix of expressive self-portraits and simple, gestural pieces. I've been painting and drawing for more than twenty years (a bit off and on). In recent years, I've also been focusing on collage work. Most recently, I took a course on sculpture with found objects and I had a great deal of fun creating interesting pieces out of ‘junk’.

My art education has been an informal one. It has included a class at the San Francisco Art Institute, Stanford Continuing Studies courses, and guidance from an amazing teacher who taught local college and community classes. I've participated in multiple art exhibitions in the SF Bay Area, including Silicon Valley Open Studios, contributed to The Sketchbook Project, and participate in online communities via Sketchbook Revival and the Sketch a Day app.

I spend much of my time running my PR consultancy, Hamby Communications. But I continually make time for the arts. Occasionally, I’m even able to connect the two-- having done pro bono work for Art in Action, or by finding inspiration for communications best practices from the world of art and music.
