Resume/Curriculum Vitae

Hammond was born in Elizabeth, N.J. and grew up in Melrose, MA., a northern suburb of Boston. She began her venture into the art world as a young student, when she was awarded a scholarship to drawing classes at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The classroom featured large plaster reproductions of Roman sculptures of gods and goddesses. The sculptures made a deep impression on the young artist and, in her 20s, led her to try to resolve these images by starting with pottery and ceramics. The later techniques with clay included sculptures with faces in the folds of clay and later she made similar images and sculptures with a resin wax, which was cast in bronze. Hammond later returned to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts where she graduated with a four-year diploma and a fifth year Graduate certificate. After a traveling scholarship from the museum took her to Japan, Hammond later received a B.S. in Education from Tufts University in 1964.Eventually Ms. Hammond moved to New York City, Westchester and then on to East Hampton in 1985, where she currently has a studio and sculpture garden.

• 2009 - Mark Borghi Fine Arts Gallery, Bridgehampton, NY. Review by Eric Ernst for Hampton's Press Oct 6th 2009

http://www.27east.com/story_detail.cfm?id=238139amid the names drawn from the pages of art history at Borghi is a mild surprise in the inclusion of a small, untitled aluminum sculpture by East End artist Phyllis Hammond that is both rhythmically engaging and whimsically thoughtful. Using thinly sliced metal that is bent to conjure apparitional harmonies in space, the work is dynamic despite its size and echoes in form and sensibility the Alexander Calder mobile that hangs farther back in the gallery."
