Law Hamilton is known around New England for her jaw-dropping photography of water, effortlessly showcasing the power and magnificence of waves. In her Abstract Wave series, Hamilton uses long exposures to blur the motion of waves to create new patterns and textures in a single image. Prints on metal from her Grace & Movement series explore keeping the shutter open throughout the cycle of a wave, while short exposures freeze the movement as the subject of the artwork. New Landscapes and patterns appear, and colors shift in tone and hue through this process. Smaller images from the Intimate Wave series ask you to lean-in and see the beauty in texture, line, and form. Images without frame of reference continue to expand Hamilton’s definition of abstraction.

Hamilton earned a ‘Master Artist’ status at the Newburyport Art Association in 2019 and has been a member since 2014, and is also an active member of the NAA’s Photography Interest Group. She has studied at the Griffin Museum of Photography in the Atelier program, along with many other workshops and classes to continue exploring photography as a fine art.

An informal ‘Meet the Artist’ event will take place on the final day of the exhibition:
Sunday, August 7th (2-4pm)
