{ “Flo” as she was known during early childhood, was the proud daughter of James & Juanita Reed. She grew up in Harlem and attended New York public schools. Flora recently completed coursework for a Master of Education degree from Kennesaw State University of Georgia on July 28, 2010. Flora Hammond is a self-taught artist whose style has captured the hearts of Folk Art Lovers nationwide. Her works have been featured in many exhibits throughout the United States, as well as local and national publications, Ms. Hammond’s works, were highlighted as a montage during “Between the line” aired on Turner Broadcasting System. She has also worked on several mural projects in the City of Atlanta and her works in the private collections of several institutions in the Southeast. Her debut series entitled “The We Be Children Collector’s Series” depicts experiences from the artist’s childhood. “The children in this series are dear to me. They are extracts from my childhood memories. The time I spent with my big brother who, in my eyes, could capture rays of sun and carry the world in his wagon; girlfriends, with whom I was “tighter than tight”, and still am; the secrets that were told and never revealed. “These are my children… I am they…they are me.”}
