Quincie Hamby
I’ve always been captivated by the diversity of human stories, which led me to pursue degrees in Anthropology and Archaeology. Although I once owned an art gallery in Tallahassee, I discovered that creating and selling my own work was where I wanted to place my energy.
For over over 30 years now, I’ve been crafting jewelry that speaks to the connection to others and the world beyond. Growing up in Hawaii, and traveling through Europe and Central America, I was influenced by the beauty and spirit of these places. These influences are echoed in my work giving my jewelry a depth that resonates with the wearers. Today, I currently have a jewelry studio at the LeMoyne Art Gallery complex where I continue to create and sell my pieces through various galleries and art shows.
Making a living by doing what I love is a gift. I realize that the small things are important. You woke up one day to realize I’ve created a magical life. I have a passion for what I do; at the end of the day, that sustains my soul.
Presently Quincie Hamby, has a business Wear Your Art and a Jewelry Designer.

Heather Fleming
I began my journey as a professional artist in 1982 upon entering Ohio State University as a Photographyand Cinema major. Yearning for a sunnier climate and gentler winters, I relocated to Tallahassee toattend Florida State University. After attending a summer workshop at the Parsons School of Design, I settled on Visual Communications in its Fine Arts Department.
Knowing how difficult a career as an artist can be but determined to make my talent work for her, I did journeyman’s duty in art-related positions in printing companies, magazine publishers, and type houses. This foundation stood me in good stead when I was hired on as a Senior Graphic Artist for a nationwide benefits administrator’s marketing communications division, eventually working my way into management.
During my 20 years there, I witnessed the evolution of graphic communications and design firsthand. For 11 years in the pre-internet era, I focused on the manual duties of preparing print-ready boards, aligning paper stock selection with a graphic approach, text treatment, and the ever mundane but essential budget compliance. In the final nine years, I was at the forefront of the launch of its online presence and digital marketing efforts, acquiring skills in web design and development.
Along the way, opportunities arose to offer my services as a freelance graphic designer forentrepreneurs, local businesses, state agencies, and artisans. Still other opportunities to expand my knowledge, skill set, and income came my way: I started an event planning business with a partner to design, promote, and market large-scale events.
My current artistic endeavors involve applying my whimsical creative style, emphasizing powerful color palettes and original font creation to format and photo-illustrate a children’s book. In my off-hours, I experiment with watercolors and explore trends in architecture and interior design.
