Janet Elizabeth Hammer
Born 8-9-1969
Waco Texas
I
spent my childhood with my nose in books like "Amphigory" and "Where
the Sidewalk Ends". I had to go to the library to read these as they
were evil and not allowed in my house. I was moved to Dallas in the 3rd
grade, which I didn't like. I did however Love the Dallas Museum of Art
and Shakespeare in the Park. I liked the artistic undercurrent there, I
adored the everyday as art of Austin. I moved here as soon as I could
hitch a ride here. I had to go back to Dallas many times for irritating
things like school. I graduated from Richardson High School in 1987. I
did some time in various colleges. I have lived in Austin longer than
any other city in the United States. There was a 12 year lapse in which I
lived in Seattle WA. I moved back 2 years ago. I am quite happy with
the way small independent galleries have sprung up all around Austin. I
am happy that there are so many DIY projects going on including
magazines, theaters, art showings, writing groups, comedy and on and on.
I am just an Austinite to my core and always will be. I can't list my
favorite of anything such as films, books, artists because I like to
many and the one who carries the most favor with me changes daily. I
don't like writing about myself much but I will say I really love mashed
potatos and a good nap.
