Her illustrations brought extraordinary innocence and sweetness to life. Some of her work showcases whimsical characters for Hallmark greeting cards and designing ornaments with cute angels.

Her work became so popular that she developed a loyal fan base. Hamilton served as an illustrator, mentor, and friend to many across Hallmark’s creative community until her retirement in 2015 and her subsequent death in 2017. |
