Hambone was raised in Louisiana in a multi-cultured environment that entrenched the quality of the 'soft overcome' to diversity and hesitation. His paintings address the history of events and the culture of the Deep South based on personal involvement of childhood relationships. As most artists know, the stumbling upon forgotten childhood memories and experiences open up a universe that needs to be told in paint.

Hambone's paintings are not symbols of freedom - but are pictorials of life's true events and the daily active lives of the heroes of a developing nation. There is no struggle for independence from the traditional requirements of paintings. He is a tour de force, a native talent, self-taught and paints from his own interactions of experiences.

Having penetrated back into a begotten world of fun, interactions, discovery, dreaming and wishing; he has been able to bring out a pictorial history with his brushwork what sets him apart from any other American folk artist.
