Mary Hamby

"I create jewelry and home decor that at first appear simple and clean, but are packed with artful details. I start my day with clay, metal, and threads and through the process of forming, firing, soldering, combing, and weaving I get to see raw materials transform into finished pieces. My goal is to create impact through joyful designs that bring an artful touch to your life. "

She brings thoughtful attention to details and playful color pallets into each of her pieces. She creates timeless 3D mixed media artworks that are filled with surprise. Mary works to connect the dots between art, design, and daily life.

Her joy comes from creating jewelry and home decor that make people smile using the tactile materials of porcelain, metal, and fiber. Marys hope is that each piece is a visual reminder of how perfectly wonderful it is to be artful, strong, and kind.

Mary Hamby is the owner and artist behind Twenty Two West based in Charlotte, North Carolina. After working as an interior designer, Mary transitioned into creating art full time in 2015. The name Twenty Two West comes from her childhood address in Greenville, South Carolina where she discovered the love of creating through the women who loved it before her.
