Andie Hamilton
Curator
Andie Hamilton is a Dallas-based artist and photographer who never met a color she didn’t like. After years behind the camera capturing other people’s stories, she picked up a paintbrush and discovered a new way to tell her own. Now her days are spent chasing emotion, movement, and the perfect shade of “I’ll know it when I see it.”
Music is her biggest inspiration for paintings, and she’s always trying to capture the feeling a song gives through her work. Her studio is powered by coffee, curiosity, and one dog who thinks he’s the creative director.
When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her hanging with her husband eating copious amounts of chips and salsa (she is from Texas after all) and being the biggest cheerleader for other women running creative businesses.
