The Artistry of Gary Hampton's Gallery
After a fulfilling career as a Higher Education Professor and Administrator at Austin Community College and Rice University, I embarked on a new chapter of my life in retirement.
Despite a lifelong interest in drawing and painting, it wasn't until recently that I fully pursued my passion.
I have always been fascinated with watercolor painting as it allows me to blend the water and pigment in so many different ways. I have tried many different mediums but always return to my love of watercolor.
I have also done woodworking for most of my life but have recently fallen in love with the creativity of lathe woodturning. I have also become fascinated with developing pens and bottlestoppers on the lathe.
As a Texas Master Naturalist, my artistic inclinations gravitate towards the wonders of nature through my painting and woodworking.
I find the natural world full of inviting opportunities for me to express my love of nature through art.
