My name is James Hamilton and I am a visual artist. This is my portfolio website that displays my graphic design portfolio and my personal fine art portfolio.
The beginning of my journey as a visual artist began in high school. The art techniques that I was exposed to during high school was limited. I engaged with the world of art through graffiti and music and movies that I was into at that time. After high school I attended OSU-IT, Okmulgee, Oklahoma, where I studied graphic design and to a lesser degree web design and photography. While I was at OSU-IT I was really inspired to become an artist, graphic designer, illustrator. I had some really inspiring classmates and instructors. Ultimately before completing my degree I knew that I wasn't ready to graduate and commit my life to a graphic design career. I still had some life to live and ultimately felt that I needed to explore my creative journey further.
Following some time off from OSU-IT, I later went back to receive my Bachelors of Fine Art from Oklahoma State University. My primary emphasis' were printmaking, ceramics and art history. This time at OSU really allowed me to push myself as a visual artist and dive deeper into the world of making art.
In 2025 I wanted to go back to the basics of drawing from the eye using graphite and charcoal on paper. I worked on the human form and portraiture. All
