Jamie Hansen: Watercolor Art
There is a special energy in a room full of music educators. Join me for a look back at the VMEA Conference in Norfolk, where we celebrated music, art, and the incredible teachers who bring it all to life.
Two decades after my scrappy second student show on Front Street, I returned with AirBadge to help ILM launch their new system. After the work was done I found the old facade where Charlie Brownz once stood and felt art, tech, persistence, and community stand together. Standing there I saw the distance between who I was and who I am: artist, software professional, community builder: coexisting in one bright doorway. Grateful the path wasn’t straight. Grateful to revisit the place that first taught me about connection. Thank you Wilmington!
Join me at the VMEA Conference 2025 in Norfolk, VA, from November 19-22, where I’ll be showcasing my newest collection of music-inspired watercolor art. I’m excited to share how these vibrant paintings capture the beauty of musical instruments and performances. I'm excited to exhibit alongside my husband in a community that has always inspired me.
