Artist Statement:
My approach to most of the
work I create is a cross
between socio-psychology
experiment and storytelling.
Either way it is basic human
interaction. All artwork has a
story to tell. Everyone has a
story to tell no matter what
race, creed or color. It is
becomes basic communication.
As an artist and a musician, I
am inspired by people and
circumstances. The figures I
paint have inspired me through
there simple nature and yet
they have something to say. I
paint women to broadcast to
the world their passionate and
sensual nature. Men who are
stoic become pliable through
dance. Children become little
people in small bodies. Black
people learn to laugh at
themselves through things like
their hair issues or faux skin
color issues. I like to use
primary colors like blues and
reds to convey the vibrance of
everyday life and what it
means to celebrate life.
In my ideal world through my
storytelling within my
artwork, our prejudices and
insecurities become unfounded
by a belief in self, a respect
for self and a love for self.
In my ideal world, if you can
accomplish that then you can
believe, respect and love
others.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
In the beginning I painted to sooth my soul... to keep my mind from going to an awful place. It also gave me pleasure to create something beautiful. Now I have like to tell stories and I have the ability to create beauty with the two hands God gave me and through visual arts I could give them a voice. |

Biography
D. Lammie-Hanson is a self-taught artist who was born and raised in Harlem, New York. She began her life in the arts as a dancer at the tender age of 3 ˝ at the Ruth Williams Dance Studio in Harlem with ballet. She exhibited talent as a visual artist at the age of 5. Due to the fact that she was raised strictly Catholic, she drew her inspiration from figures in the Stations of the Cross from church and the stories they told. As she matured so did her art where her inspiration was derived from the spiritual and emotional side of womanhood and her culture. She relies on strong primary colors of blues and siennas to convey brilliant flow of life.
Lammie’s professional career started in alternative venues like nightclubs and cafes to exhibit her artwork. Eventually, she was invited to show her “Black on Black” series in a one person show at the Hamilton Landmark galleries in Harlem and at Villa Lewaro, the former home of Madame CJ Walker. Her painting, “Proud Woman” was chosen to be a part of the “Coalition for the Homeless” Exhibit at the United Nations office at Geneva’s Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
In 1999, Lammie co-founded with two fellow artists the community artists’ organization, South of the
Navy Yard Artists, Inc. aka S.O.N.Y.A which is a not for profit artists for artists organization based in Brooklyn.
In 2003 & in 2006, she exhibited in a one person show in Berlin Germany at the Gallery 24. In 2004, she collaborated on a multimedia exhibit titled “The Interpretation of Black of Hanson Brown”. This “Hanson Brown” exhibit became a comprehensive and introspective show of the color and culture of Black from a historical and a pop culture point of view. The show toured from 2005-2006 to Atlanta, GA; Brooklyn, NY; and Berlin, Germany. She has exhibited on numerous occasions with the New York City Health and Hospitals Art collection with her photography becoming part of their permanent collection.
In 2007-2008, she was appointed the director and curator of the community gallery of SONYA. The gallery is now located out of the Parlor Gallery. In late 2008, Lammie relocated to Atlanta, GA and in 2009, she published her first book about her art and the stories that inspired their creation called 'Painting the Individual Psyche'. This book celebrates the work of over 80+ images. That same year, she exhibited for the first time at the National Fine Black Arts Show, in NYC and the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta GA.
In 2010, Lammie’s year became the year of producing art full time with a month long exhibit in New Orleans at the Big Top Fine Art Gallery, exhibiting at the Avisca Fine Art Gallery, participating in the Gwinnett Campus of University of Georgia’s Artist Talk. She has donated artwork to the Atlanta Human Rights Campaign and to the Georgia Transplant Foundation in Atlanta. She was a selected visual artist for the Int’l Soul Music Summit, the Woman of Color Arts and Film Festival and a finalist in the Bombay Sapphire Artisans series exhibiting 2 original paintings at Mason Murer Fine Art for the series.
When Lammie is not creating art, she is developing the art and music project, EreAfter, in the vein of Alternative Indie Experimental Rock band or her individual music as LammSong and has an art book titled Painting the Individual Psyche available on Amazon.com.
