Hamilton Public Library supports local artists, artisans and organizations by providing free exhibition space.
This body of work is the product of experimenting with multi-media collaging. I combined 3D objects with the classic form of collaging in order to create tiny, textured, worlds for the viewer to fall into. Using childhood craft supplies like pipe-cleaners, glitter and pom-poms, kept the process fun, and produced art with silly, surprising, and imaginative elements. I hope these pieces of art make you smile and invite curiosity.
The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
