In her works, Hampson represents the human experience from a personal lens, offering reflections from her childhood and insights into her mental, emotional, physical, cultural and spiritual state. Growing up on the northern coast of Gumbayngirr Country (Coffs Harbour), Hampson has a deep connection with the ocean and is drawn to coastal scenes and their changing landscapes in her work. She is also continually inspired by the changing landscapes of Uralla, located in rural New South Wales.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHampson’s paintings have regularly been featured in exhibitions across Australia.

For the artist, the net becomes a symbol of systems designed to sustain and contain life - structures that, under mounting pressure, begin to fray and falter. Both addressing the fragility of these systems and acknowledging the continued trust that we have in them, Hampson’s painting is layered in complexity. Using mixed media - acrylic, ink, graphite, and ochre, sourced with permission from Wiradjuri Country - ‘Unravelling’ demonstrates Hampson’s command of composition, offering a painting rich in texture, tension, and meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHampson’s paintings have regularly been featured in exhibitions across Australia.
