Vae Hamilton likes working in layers. Like our lives, Vae’s paintings are about layers upon layers of information, events, people, and feelings, filtered through the artists perspective. They are recordings of various moments in time that the artist considered to be memorable. Vae works with acrylic paints, photo transfers, multimedia, and expanding creative imagery.
