All of her work explores her joy of realism, light, movement, and energy. When asked about her inspiration and focus, she said, "I am always looking for the beauty, moods, spirituality, and metaphors in simple things. I love the ordinary things. I seek to emphasize rhythms, lines, patterns and colours to express my connection to the everyday world around me. My best hope is that the images stand simply on their own, and find similar connections in the viewer where words fail."
Her painting titled 'Salud, porque la belleza sobra,' a Mojito, is currently on display at 'Coach House Gallery' in Orillia. Coach House is a local gallery owned and run by artist Judy Fontyn Sugg.
Hamming lives and works in Orillia.
