VALERIE HAMILL
Exhibit Opens Jan. 22nd, 2026
Artist Reception: February 28th at 6:00pm (In the Art Gallery)
The first gallery of 2026 features the lovely artwork of Valeri Hamill. She has a collection of various artworks depicting several building around downtown Murfreesboro. With the first theatre production of our 30th Anniversary being OUR TOWN (written by Thornton Wilder and Directed by Heather Steele), it was very important to us to showcase local artists and local landscapes/cityscapes. These pieces were a perfect choice, and we can’t wait for you to see!
Valerie Hamill is extremely grateful to call Murfreesboro her new home! Originally from California, she has an organic chemistry background–of which she remembers nothing. She studied four years in the Czech Republic in the illustration department at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, and has illustrated puzzles for True South, several books for Yolimwon (Korea), and also for Chicago Magazine, Loyola University Press, Paseka Publishing (Czech Republic) and others. She recently illustrated her first children’s book (Seth Standley’s Here’s to the Silly Ones) with Lucky Rabbit Publishing, which will come out in August.
In a nutshell, she loves to draw anything that involves an ink or pencil line. These prints were originally drawn on a large tablet and are printed on archival heavyweight (350 gsm) Hahnemuhle Museum Etching Paper. The prints are available through Center for the Arts, and also at M&J Home or her Etsy shop (etsy.com/shop/ValerieHamillArt).
