Marie-Claire Hamon currently works from Boswednan Studio, a rural space on the edge of Penzance. Alongside her studio practice, Hamon has contributed to arts education as a visiting lecturer at various colleges and at Falmouth University. She is also a mentor at the Newlyn School of Art.
In November 2025, she exhibited at the Newlyn gallery / The exchange, lower gallery. Her body of work, On The Way To The Well, explored the emotional history of her surrounding landscape, focusing on the ancient holy wells with their mix of hope, pain and superstition.
In 2023, Hamon exhibited her solo show, All Life Comes from the Mountain, in the Borlase Smart Room at Porthmeor Studios St Ives. The body of work was created at Treveglos Studio in Zennor and reflected a deep engagement with the area’s history, folklore and cultural layers.
Between 2004 and 2011, she was a regular exhibitor at both the Cadogan Gallery in London and the Campden Gallery. In 2013, Hamon took part in an exhibition in the Dark Rooms at CAST in Helston, marking the transformation of the former school building into an arts venue.
Hamon also presented a solo exhibition, We Want to Keep Dreaming, at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens in 2018. The exhibition's central painting was later included in Let’s Talk About the Anthropocene at the University of Brighton.
In 2016 Hamon participated in On St Michael’s Way, a group exhibition at the 12-Star Gallery at the European Centre for Culture in London. The show, which explored the shared heritage between Cornwall’s Saints’ Way and other pilgrimage routes across Europe, later toured to Tremenheere in Penzance.
She has been shortlisted for the Discerning Eye Prize in London, the Wells Contemporary Art Prize, the MK open prize and the Hunting Prize at the Royal College, among others.
