It is with great sadness that we deliver this message of our friend and colleague Stuart Hamilton's passing. Stuart succumbed to COVID 19 on Wednesday, February 10th after having been hospitalized for about two weeks. Stuart was a well-liked instructor of two-dimensional design who taught for us at GWC for over 10 years. He is survived by two daughters, his beautiful artwork, and the students who he helped on their journeys in art. He will be missed. You can see much of his work on his website: stuarthamiltonart.com
