About D. Lammie-Hanson is a self-taught artist who was born and raised in Harlem, New York. She drew her inspiration from 2 places. One was from the figures in the Stations of the Cross from the Catholic church and the stories they told. The other was from her love of dance. She danced from age 3 1/2 and 16 yrs old. Now her inspiration is derived from the spiritual and emotional side of womanhood and her culture. She relies on strong colors of blues and earthy siennas to convey our correlation to the flow of water and stability of the earth.Her early career started in alternative venues like nightclubs and cafes. 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. She exhibited twice in Berlin Germany at the Gallery 24. 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.
