Oenone Hammersley, an internationally
recognized mixed-media artist known for her bold use of color, texture, and
light. Her nature-inspired paintings—especially her vivid depictions of
water—are powerful visual statements about the beauty of our planet and the urgent
need for environmental protection.

Born in England in 1957 and now living in
Florida, USA, Oenone draws inspiration from her background in theatre design
and her extensive travels through Southeast Asia, India, Africa, and Latin
America. These journeys fuel her creative vision, which she expresses through
large-scale oil paintings, collage, and a unique technique that combines
hand-painting with multiple paint pours and glossy resin finishes.

 Collectors of Oenone’s art celebrate her
ability to transform deep ecological concerns into captivating visual art. Her
artworks raise awareness about deforestation, ocean pollution, and
overfishing—issues she actively supports through regular donations to
conservation organizations.

 Oenone Hammersley’s art is a celebration
of nature’s beauty and complexity. Her paintings have been exhibited at
prestigious galleries and art fairs, including New York, London, Miami, and
Washington DC, and are part of important private and public collections
worldwide.

Artist
Statement:

Colour and light are used to emphasize
the vanishing world of wilderness that implores us to take notice, appreciate
the rare and raw beauty about us, and allow our imagination to roam about the
abstract compositions symbolizing the unsettled and unsettling world in which
man alters nature.

Support
for Conservation:

Oenone’s recent water paintings are
prompted by a deep concern for both the lack of water in some parts of the
world, the pollution of our oceans and the poor management of our water resources.
Her paintings aim to help people realize how precious water is to our
existence. This collection of paintings is dedicated to Ocean Conservancy.

 Past exhibitions of Oenone’s paintings
have benefited the World Land Trust, Fauna and Flora International, Friends of
the Earth, the World Wildlife Fund, Pandrillus, Wildlife Protection Society of
India, Turtle conservation in Greece and Earthwatch.
