About Mo Hamilton

Mo is a BC painter and printmaker whose inspiration comes from current events in the external world around her as well as the internal world of her imagination. Mo reduces her images to their essential elements so she can bring simplicity, myth and storytelling to her work. In her paintings and prints she explores themes of uncertainty, instability and disruption and how these impact our sense of security. She often uses humour in her work as a way of expressing human’s ability to adapt to change with the idea that it is better to laugh than to cry.  Mo’s  intuitive multi-layered paintings incorporate collage, words and found images to reveal her inner narrative. 

Mo has exhibited and sold  her work in many galleries throughout BC. She facilitated the Art Heals Program at the Northern Health Hospital in Prince George for many years as well as taught art workshops at Two Rivers Gallery, Smithers Art Gallery, Terrace Art Gallery, Kootenay Gallery of Art, Island Mountain Arts and also MISSA. She studied art at Camosun College, has done a couple TOAP mentorships at IMA in Wells and continues to learn  and follow her curiosity  as it applies to art making. She has lived and worked in  many communities across BC but now works as a full-time artist  in her home in Prince George, BC.

Registration and payment will be required on, or before, May 2nd.
