We’re excited to introduce the first event in our land justice series! March 17 – April 2 Shepherd’s Corner is hosting an exhibit by Sierra Hamilton, a Columbus-based visual artist whose work integrates vibrant, iridescent colors with the natural world.
In an effort to ensure that those who once lived on this land and are now disenfranchised have access to stewardship and opportunities for healing, we are welcoming BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) artists, filmmakers, and writers to teach us, through intentional programming, what it means to be on and part of the land.
Sierra’s work deeply expresses a healing connection to land. Her art reflects in her own words, “a soul needs a place to sit and breathe, to experience a moment of serenity that otherwise feels unachievable during the daily noise. A space to clear our minds; a respite to tend to our emotional selves, protected by the shade of the towering trees and comforted by the blanket of lush undergrowth.”
Experience Sierra’s art by visiting during exhibition hours, attending the reception on March 26, or signing up for Sierra’s Branch Weaving program.
We’re hosting events throughout the year and hope that you can join us as we explore what’s possible when silenced voices are heard.
Sierra Hamilton is a visual artist focusing on acrylic and oil painting on wood and canvas. In 2023, she
received her BA in Visual Art with minors in Arts Entrepreneurship and Design-Thinking from the Ohio
State University. Hamilton has exhibited in Columbus, OH and Michigan, notably in Fresh Looks (2024)
and Urban Art Space’s Irrepressible Soul (2023). These exhibitions have not only provided platforms for
her artistic voice but have also allowed her to connect with a broader audience and establish her presence
within the contemporary art scene. Currently, Sierra Hamilton resides in Columbus, Ohio, where she
continues to develop her artistic practice. Beyond her studio work, she dedicates her time to teaching
early childhood education, a role that undoubtedly enriches her creative perspective and fosters a sense of
curiosity that translates to her vibrant paintings.
