His work is driven by his belief in the universality of art and its potential to find meaning in complex situations. Hamburger holds a bachelor’s degree in visual arts from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida and a master of ne fi arts degree in com- munity arts from Maryland Institute College of Art. During his under- graduate career, he studied art history and oil painting at the Umbra Institute in Perugia, Italy. In 2011, Hamburger moved to Asia where he pursued painting and taught in diverse settings in Thailand as well as underrepresented tribal regions in northern India.
