Adele Hammond

Movement, in its most literal sense, is a very important part of Adele Hammond’s life, and by extension, her art. As a bird migrates, so does she, spending time in different cultures, collection experiences and recording them in her drawings. “ Within the pages of my sketch books, representing some 30 years of visual wanderings, the mysteries of the natural world have remained a very personal passion for me and a constant force in my work. Always based in nature, the drawings have ranged from the tangible to the fantastic, weaving what we see physically in the landscape with my own personal interactions.” 

Her drawings are charged with a mark-making vocabulary that is overtly physical, urgent, and inseparable from the natural world. Trained in Paris, New York, and California, she has exhibited more recently at the Maryhill Museum in Goldendale, Washington, the Beppu Wiarda Gallery in Portland, Oregon and the Panze Verde Gallery in Antigua, Guatemala. Adele currently lives in Oaxaca, Mexico with her husband, John Harlin, and daughter Siena.
