Contemporary artist, author, and illustrator Janet Hamlin has worked as the sole courtroom artist for news media at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base tribunals since 2006, documenting the trials of the detainees. Since cameras and recording equipment are forbidden in the trials, her drawings form the primary visual record of events that have taken place there.
In 2008 Janet volunteered to moderate non-profit weekly figure drawing sessions at Edward Hopper House. The sessions moved to The Nyack Center in 2011, going strong and providing a low-cost local drawing venue for artists. Janet Hamlin graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design. Her clients include Time Warner, Universal Studios, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, IBM, HarperCollins, Associated Press to name a few. Hamlin works in both traditional and digital media. |
