Hello! I´m Aileen Hamilton and I investigate the relationship between interior landscapes and the natural world.
About me
I am a visual artist and my practice is rooted in gesture, rhythm, and intuitive form. Raised in rural Ireland, the natural world continues to shape my work. Alongside my studio practice, I teach art and run Drawing in Nature workshops.
About my work
My paintings grow organically over time. Through fluid and layered marks, I try to capture a moment as it unfolds. Not to resolve it, but to remain present in it. I'm fascinated by compositions that appear to be alive, constantly evolving - reshaping, morphing, growing, and contracting like a living thing. I investigate themes of physical and emotional terrain to express personal narratives.
