‘Comeback kid’ exhibits at Chant office

LORDS VALLEY, PA — Marty Hamer of Hemlock Farms in Lords Valley, PA, painted this whimsical rendition of Rome. His works are on display throughout the month of May at the Chant’s Realtors office at Hemlock Farms. “Call him the comeback kid,” said an article from the New York Jewish Week. “For 25 years, Marty Hamer didn’t touch a brush, making him wonder if his artistic skills would atrophy like an unexercised muscle. However, ever since fate threw him a second chance, the painter’s reputation has steadily grown.”

Hamer, a retired educator who has embarked upon a career as an artist, is fulfilling a boyhood dream. He previously studied in Paris and is a life-long member of arts associations including the Art Students League in NY and The American Guild for Judaic Art. His work may be viewed at hamerstudios.com. For more information call 570/775-6352 or 775-7337.
