Ramona Hammerly-
Award-winning artist, Ramona Hammerly saunters up the slopes of the
Pacific Northwest with her love of art and nature. Whether it be
her spontaneous plein air (on location) paintings or her masterful
studio works, Hammerly has established herself as an expert in nature's
contrasts and comparisons.
A Washington native, Hammerly
graduated from the University of Washington, cum laude, with a BS
degree in Physics. Michael Bergt, Maxine Masterfield, Barry Moser
among others helped in giving her the tools. Nature gave her the
inspiration.
Hammerly has been an avid
mountaineer and backpacker. For many years she taught painting
and
drawing at the North Cascades Institute and has exhibited at the
prestigious Pacific Rim Wildlife Annual Show.
She is also the illustrator of
the recently released (October 2007) revised and expanded edition of Northwest
Trees, written by Stephen Arno. She was the illustrator of
the first edition
by the same name, as well as Timberlines.
Her works range in price from
$550 to $5000.
