Hamlett Dobbins paints about experiences, using the process to help focus and wrap himself in the moment. By capturing and building the experience in paint, he begins to understand the qualities that determine why these moments in stories, movies, and real life are so moving. A native of Tennessee, Dobbins has spent most of his life in Memphis. He has taught in several colleges and universities and has been the recipient of many fellowships, awards, and residencies from organizations including the Vermont Studio Center, the Pollock Krasner Foundation, and the Tennessee Arts Commission.
The River Beneath Us and Mellow Mountain Coalition are co-sponsored by the Tennessee Arts Academy
